Hi Wes,

That's another incredible image. It's still hard to believe you can get that kind of detail. I always look forward to your next image. Thanks for sharing.

Clear skies,
Ed Roach

Wes,

An outstanding image of Pitatus (29.8*S, 13.5*W, 60 miles (97 km) diameter) located over the southern edge of Mare Nubium. Your image shows the peripheral rille system beautifully. Thank you for sharing this image with us all.
