Great shots Jim! Very nice detail & contrast on all of them!
Any chance for me to get some time-share on your Private Imaging Satellite? smile


Keep'em coming!

Jim,

Fabulous shots!!!!!! I especially liked the Ptolemaeus shot with its saucer shaped depression and tons of detail on the crater floor!! You should send them to the LPOD site!

glad you got some awesome seeing, sure seems like those moments are few and far between does'nt it

clear skies
