Lunar Southpole

Hi Oliver -

This is a great image - I like the way you've processed it. The softness suggests the presence of our atmosphere and I don't mind that at all. The Plato image is very nice as well.

best wishes -

Posidonius and the edge!

Posted By Alan Friedman
Hi Mike -

Two more excellent images, Mike.

I wonder - do you have an LCD monitor to use for processing? There is a little artifact left in the deepest shadows of the image that would be very difficult to see on a laptop or CRT. I have a very bright LCD at home - I try to use it for final processing because it is able to render the very last gray tones before black. It takes no prisoners.

cheers -

Incredible - what more can be said! Wes, you are showing craterlets that no one has seen before - and they are sharp as tacks.

Theophilus/ Cyrillus/ and Catharina

Posted By Alan Friedman
Hi Mike -

Love both of your new postings - Theophilus and Aristoteles show fantastic detail and they are processed beautifully.

There are just too many glorious images in this new crop of moon shots. I'm having trouble keeping up. smile

Ptolemaeus 09/14/06

Posted By Alan Friedman
Hi Wes -

Another incredible image! I had imaged this region in August at a lower sun angle - when I get to work on it, it will be fun (in a masochistic sort of way I guess!) to be able to be able to compare it to such a detailed reference.
