Wes,

I THOUGHT I saw your lunar module take off the other night! Wonderful image and can't wait to see more.

Fantastic image Wes! So smooth!

I was kind of missing your images: It's a great pleasure to see again your phenomenal work!

What's the MAP processing?

Hey Wes, welcome back wink

A magnificent image too! I love the rille detail, and the delicate craterlet/ray detail in the upper right, must be part of Bullialdus's ray structure!
Question though -how did you manage 25fps with a ROI frame this large? best I can manage with 16bit mode on is about 14-18 fps. Or were you just in 8 bit mode? One of these nights I'll get seeing good enough for imaging at 9000mm..

can't wait to see the other images!
