Mare Nectaris near terminator. 11"SCT @ f/10. sbig st-2000xm camera with cfw-8. Imaged at full resolution, half frame size through green filter. 25 or so 0.01 second exposures stacked and heavily sharpened. I may reprocess and try to take the sharpening up more, the s/n was that high.

Gorgeous, very sharp. Maybe too sharp, though; there are some areas where the birhgt edges are saturated. Might try a lighter histogram stretch prior to sharpening if you are going to push it harder.
