Hi Wes, you recorded a ton of detail there, congrats! The Moon is actually a difficult imaging target, because of the terminators tremendous range in light levels (0-10). Your exposures must be very fast? Regards, Dan 8)

Awesome detail Wes!

Wow 150 map pts? Those little 64 pixel boxes must be right side by each! Does that many really make a big difference? For that size image I use max 30-50.

cheers

Mike
