South Polar Widefield

Hi all,

It's been a while but I had some decent seeing on January 6th and here is the first image. Below

I found it was easier to make sense of what is going on near the pole when enlarged to 160% -

Hi Stefan:

Really great processing, the lunar south pole never looked so good!

Thanks for all the hard work, Dan 8)

Wow! A stunning image! It looks like it was taken from lunar orbit.

That's just awesome.

Greg.

Many thanks all!

Stefan

Breathtaking 8O
It feels like gasping for air because it seems to be there hovering on the surface Stefan!
