Thanks Rick, I appreciate your comments.

Annette - I think I have managed to record linear features down to maybe 0.6km wide and craterlets down to perhaps 1.6km wide, so no space junk from my set up I'm afraid.

NASA lunar orbiting missions have however, recorded the Apollo and Surveyor landing sites, tracks and the equipment left behind.

Cheers

Dennis
