Hi,

I've been pretty busy lately and have not been participating in the group like I should, the weather here in Oklahoma is still not conducive to good seeing, for about the last 30 days we have had high winds and many wild fires.
Here is another one from last August that I just processed.

18" Reflector, 11,000mm FL, Infinity 2-1m camera, 23fps, stack of 270 frames.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Hi Wes,
Your images are always superb and this one is no exception.
I really like your lunar images and Plato is a real favorite.
You should send this one to the GLR. We are working on a Plato
article. Congratulations! grin

Hi Wes-

A beautiful Plato! I love seeing the fine detail that you are able to resolve on the cliffs and plateaus that surround the crater.

I hope that you stay safe and that things come under control soon in Oklahoma - the reports on the news look very scary.

best,
Alan
