Heres Petavius, same details as with messier. I think I captured it a bit too brightly. Always did love the look of this cool crater!! Its 2 days after being on the terminater, so the shadows are almost gone.

Mike,

Nice image! I think you might get *slightly* better detail if you drop your mask radius just a hair. I think your s/n is good enough to handle it.

Hi Mike,

Very nice image, it has that certain detailed look to it that I see on Paolo's images and others that use an IR pass filter.
I just purchased a Baader IR-Pass filter(670 nm) from Astro-Physics it should be here in a few days, I will post some with and with out images from it.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
