Hi all,

Out again this am, (starting to suffer sleep deprivation, but I love it!) seeing was 7/10 and went south soon after that. This one has the cool ghost crater Lambert R buried next to the delicate Lambert. In the bottom 1/2 you can see white streaks of ejecta from Copernicus!

stack of 310, 17 align points

a few more to come, gotta go outload hay today ugh! :S

cheers

Mike

Hi Mike,

wonderfull grin All these subtle shades of grey of the darker lava material, the bright ejecta rays, the wrinkle ridges and all the tiny craterlets inbetween. Thanks for sharing this great place!

Best wishes & clear skies,
Oliver

Mike,

Woderful image. I am impressed with the photographic quality of your images and their smooth quality and total range. I am sure seeing helps, but your processing is impressive.

Could you explain what you mean by processing points?

Keep them coming.

Hi Mike,

Excellent!!, great detail and tonality, Lambert R is my favorite ghost crater.
I was just comparing it to my Lambert image taken with the DMK-21F04 (5.6 um pixels) and a 4x Powermate (same scope of course) and your image scale is closer to mine than I thought it would be, those small pixels of the Infinity 2-2 really pump up the image scale smile I assume you were using the 2.5x Powermate.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
