Hello Alan,


That is an awesome picture. The surface detail is great. Can't wait to see your images in a month or so when it gets closer.

Yet another Clavius at High Res

Posted By Kirk Vanden

Hello Everyone,


Thanks everyone for the kind words. I hope my picture was
useful in the ongoing discussion about the hight of
craterlet rims versus digital artifacts. I sure enjoyed seeing
everyone else's Clavius pics.

Hello Wes,


I started counting the craterlets but gave up. Your shot shows so many of them. Nice shot, and thanks for posting the link to the Ranger 7 image.

Here is a larger Ranger 7 image of this crater.

Your image shows so much more detail.

Hello Jim,


Nice image. I like limb images. The mountain peak in the upper right corner shines through the black and makes a neat view.

Types of barlows to use for imaging?

Posted By Kirk Vanden

Hello Mike,


Which vendor did you order the Lumenera from, or did you order it directly from Lumenera?
