Here is Posidonius taken during average seeing. It's my first image of this crater.

Meade LX90 8" SCT @ f/25, ToUcam 840 w/IR pass filter, seeing 4-5/10, frames= 265/1200 using multiple alignments, 8:02 UT.

Thanks,
Ed Roach

Hi Ed,

a very good image considering the seeing, good processing. Multiple alignments work wonder for captures taken under suboptimal seeing smile

Cheers & clear skies!
