Aristarcus, Herodotus and Vallis Schroter - 10th April

Hi

Here is an image of Aristarcus, Herodotus and Vallis Schroter from 10th April. This was quite a difficult capture as the seeing was really bouncing around, with short spells of extraordinary detail popping into view.

Aristarcus is such a bright crater it was quite a challenge to obtain the optimum exposure to bring out some of the detail in the terminator, without burning out the very bright walls of Aristarcus.

Cheers

Dennis
