Not Mars the Moon

Hi,

As a slight a break from Mars images I decided to post a
Moon image.
Rima Hyginus is a seldom photographed Moon feature that
IMO is very interesting, it has a crater with a valley connecting from two sides , the chain of small craters in the valley on the right is interesting .
As a size reference the Rimi valley is four miles wide .

The image was taken on August 16 2003 at 9:30 UT,
14.5 Starmaster at F/30 , Toucam Pro , 10 frames
stacked in Registax and processed in Imagesplus .

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Nice Wes. I seen one of your moon images a while back in Astronomy magazine or Sky and Telescope, I can't remember which one. This image is very interesting. I guess there isn't one feature on the moon that doesn't have a crater or two. Even the craters have craters smile
