Hi Stefan:

I just viewed your lunar posting, both composites are extraordinary, I like the Mare Tranquillitatis one the best - it's unbelievable! Can you imagine what it would be like to go back in time and witness those asteroid impacts and the resulting (massive) lava flows! Let's hope history doesn't repeat itself.

Take it easy, Dan

Simply Magnificent Stephan. Exsquisite!

Hello Stefan,

Absolutely beautiful! I haven't been able to do any imaging lately but this keeps me motivated (to say the least).
