When I first looked at this I thought the sun angle was higher - but it is late in the lunar afternoon and quite similar to the phase of Mike's Tycho posted a few days back.

This was taken August 24th through an IR filter with my 10" A/P mak working at f30.

best,
Alan

Alan, Beautiful detail and superb grayscale.

Virtual Moon Atlas puts the height of the central peak at 1500 meters. From your photo it looks like an easy climb!

Alan,

WOW!! That is in Wes territory! Wonderful detail and I especially like the processing. Did you use a red filter when you shot this?

Hi Alan,

wonderfully smooth and with such a rich tonality grin
How many frames did you stack for this lunar masterpiece ?

Cheers & clear skies,
Oliver
