Shadows in Plato

Hi,

This is eight images from one Avi of 450 stacked in Registax2 , the images were jumping around a lot so
I could only find 8 good enough to stack .
The detail is not as would like although I think the shadows are interesting and the mountain peak that produces the longest shadow can be see in fair detail if you look closely.
What a sight this tall peak must be if you could be on
the Moon surface close to it .

14.5" Starmaster working at F/25 , Toucam Pro
Webcam

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Wes,
With the images u are able to get, I do NOT believe u have a 14.5" Starmaster... u must have spaceship and are taking these pictures out one of the portholes !

Very beautiful image. Seeing the craterlets so dramatically detailed makes me laugh at the hours I've spent trying to count these fleeting things at the eyepiece.

Don't you find trying to stack webcam frames of the moon a frustrating job? There never seem to be two that have all their parts in the same place - no matter how sharp they are.

thanks for sharing your excellent work,
Alan Friedman
