Hi Jeff

If you want to see a Plato that blows your mind, have a look at Thierry Legault's version here:

This looks like it was taken from a Lunar Drone...

I think that I have resolved craterlets down to around 1.6km in my image, whereas Thierry has smashed the ball out of the resolution park with his Celestron 14" Edge and imaging skills.

Cheers

Dennis
