I mean, just look at this;

The second panel (1) is the best I can do with my scope currently. It's Mare Crisium and the crater below the number 1 is one of my favorites (Picard - it's all in the name :-). I picked the smallest detail I could find - which is only visible because of favourable lighting and contrast - and decided to zoom in as far I could.

That structure that could only just be made out was 1km in width. Pretty good, I thought, until I kept zooming
...and zooming
...and zooming.

Eventually that 1km structure filled the screen and I could see the rocks on the slope.

WOW. I'm a little excited.

Thank you Marc!
