Hello,


This was taken July 23rd from Shalimar, Florida. This picture shows crater Taruntius in the lower left. A small portion of Mare Crisium is at the upper right. Cameron is the small crater on the rim of Taruntius. The deformed crater da Vinci is up and to the left of Taruntius.

Meade 12 inch SCT, DMK 21F04, and stacked with Registax3. Best 1,000 frames out of around 3,000. This was shot at f/10.

Hi Kirk,

Very detailed , I think da Vinci should have had a more impressive crater named after him smile

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
