Plato

Hi All,

I imaged Plato, the same morning as Copernicus. It's my first image of Plato. It's not very detailed, but I resolved a couple of the craterlets on Plato's floor. I think I was able to rotate it so north was up, but I'm not sure.

HI Ed,

Excellent image, I really like the long shadows on the floor of Plato.

Hello Ed,


The lighting angle makes it a very dramatic image.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I was happy to get a few decent images that morning.

Thanks,
