Hi All

I took this feature rich image last night in good seeing. In addition to several large craters, you can see on the top left the straight wall which is about 110 kilometres long. Taken with C11, 3X barlow and basler ace mono camera. There are some jpeg artefacts from squeezing under the 200k limit. Thanks for looking.

That's a fine image of a favourite crater group with Rupes Recta slope shown by the dark line top left.

Any chance of a larger version? It looks fantastic as is, so I imagine a large version would be even better.

Thanks Ralph. A slightly larger and cleaner version is on my FLICKR URL (https://www.flickr.com/photos/74075989@N00/18135242286/in/album-72157612699734584/)


Thanks John

Amazing, though its strange how the brain works. To me it looks like the craters are buldging out.
