Hi,

I was finally able to get some new images last night (01/17/05) and I had planed on going after Saturn too but the seeing went sour, maybe tomorrow night smile .

Lunar crater Maurolycus (number 45 in the Lunar 100), 18" Starmaster, DMK-21F04 camera, 30FPS,
stack of 1000 frames from 2100.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Hi Wes,

Beautiful image. I know when I see good seeing on the CSC over Oklahoma, that we can expect great images posted from you shortly afterward. Thanks for posting.

Clear skies,

Ed Roach

Wes,

Another great image of a crater on the Moon. Much detail is noted within Maurolycus and the surrounding region. I look forward to your future images.

Looks like you could step out onto it!

How wide do you suppose that mountain is in the middle of the crater?

Greg.

Truly excellent processing Wes. It almost seems as though I'm looking at a model of the moonscape. A really interesting characteristic.
