Hi all,

Another image from the night I did Gassendi. The rilles around the ruined crater Prinz looked cool through the ep so I shot some videos of it. The little rilles look like minature versions of Schroeters valley, I won't tell you what my Wife thought they looked like :S

Hi Mike,

A very fine image, you had quite the night. I have to brush up on targets to image the next time I have good conditions. I'm not too versed on the Moons features.

Clear skies,

Mike,

Outstanding! image of a very interesting area.
Your LPOD Doppelmayer image has amazing detail I really like the wedge shape of the central peak.

Clear And Steady Skies,
