Gassendi and a Tectonic Wrinkle

Final images from my lunar session this last week...

Gassendi is a real favourite of mine, and even though the conditions were rapidly deteriorating, managed to resolve some nice detail with the surrounding Mare Humorum and up to Mersenius.

This was the first time I've ever spent time on the Mare Ridges (in fact I had to research to even find out what I was even looking at!). What an intriguing area - and the light was just right at a beautiful angle so that the small elevated craters on the ridges/wrinkles were casting intriguing shadows. They honestly looked like volcanic mountains!! The multidome Rümker was also contrasted near the terminator.

One tiiiiny problem tho- my laptop ran out of storage at the end of the capture and seems to have corrupted the final file, and I now have a 34GB AVI that won't open . I had a short test capture of only a few seconds that's I've processed anyway but soo disappointed as that would have been such an intriguing image...

Same setup as the previous post

Thanks for dropping by for a look!
