Looking at Gutenberg, Goclenius and Messier

[Gladiator]

Hello,

Find here another intriguing area by geological point of view that can be found in the southermost part of the mare Fecunditatis between Goclenius and Messier craters.

On the left side of the image, you can see the fractured ground typical of seas' edges. On the right side, you can see a log stretched version of the shadowed sea bringing more in evidence all those smooth irregularities of the ground illuminated by an extremely low sun angle.

Hi Paolo
Beautiful - looks like that D-K scope is working very well. Just for interest, how did you select out the chosen 10% of images for stacking?

That's a very effective way of showing the detail in the darker areas.
Excellent image.

Hello Ray,

Thank you for your comment!
I usually run a preliminary selection of the frames by Iris software, then I hand pick the best 50 max 100 frames which I only consider for the stack.

Hope this clears.
