Just amazing Wes 8) Your image has a slight edge in resolution over Bruno Daversins image of Clavius!! Yours however was captured much nicer with almost no burned in areas! Wow lots of work 14 points! I have yet to even get a good enough avi to warrent the multiple pt alignment technique....still hopefull for better seeing though wink

congrats

Alan you sure know how to make the best out of marginal conditions!! I think you are a real master of your processing tools 8)
Wonderful comparison on how quickly this storm is changing the features of Mars!

Ed you do some of the consistently best lunar images for a scope in your size range. This ones no exception, I wish you'd get some 8-10/10 seeing that will be fun data to play with! 8)

all the best

Hires Walter

Posted By Mike Wirths

Just incredible Wes!! I think thats the highest res image of that crater by a wide margin! Blows your previous image out of the water! What was the seeing like? Must have been a 8/10 to get that fine a detail!
I love the fine detail in the overlapping craters L&K Monius on the left of Walter, just exquisite with the fine outer rim detail!

twenty second Mars

Posted By Mike Wirths

Superb Alan, as usual impeccable processing! I tried to get out that night too but the seeing was so bad that only the R video stream was of any use!
