Some moonage after some maintainance

After cleaning and collimating my c11 I finally managed to test it out on the moon. The first picture shows Ptolemaeus with lots of internal detail and the second shows Julius Caesar middle top and to the left of it the crater Boscovich.
At first I thought this crater had a processing artefact ( looks like a very dark ragged line ) which turns out to be Rima Boskovich . Apparently a very deep 40 Km crack in the surface. I was interested in finding its width but had no luck. Anyway Don’t think I did too much damage cleaning the corrector plate inside and out , though had to use several processes to do so.
Hope you like the pictures regards philip
