Hi all,

From now on, I'm pleasured to share with you a wide collection of lunar seas which took the best of my patience! For this reason, my processing was much slower than usual. I composed 3 or 4 frames each image and often the stability varied from a stream to another getting my task even harder.

The first big portrait is with Mare Serenitatis grabbed under a very high sun angle putting on evidence any albedo marking and hundreds of craterlets spreaded all way around. This is a 4 frames mosaic, the bottom-right frame suffered with the poorest seeing. Very disappointing indeed!

Make sure to view the full res version, your browser is surely downscaling the big image to match your screen resolution. More to follow.

Thank you for your attention.

Thank you! :)
I live and take my images in Massa, a small city located in northern Tuscany at 44N latitude.

Excellent, Paolo. A very unique view with the high sun angle, not often seen.

Thanks for sharing.

Great shot there, Paolo. The geology of the mare is quite exquisitely captured in your piccie.
