Yeh Alchemy i've seen the L100 lists and articles but haven't ever purposely set out to capture them. Although I did see in the latest AS&T (chuck wood's article) that Maurolycus is number 45 or something
Unfortunately my west view is pretty much dead from right over head, so my best view to image the moon is when it's rising in the East up to overhead. Leaves me pretty much with waxing gibbous and waning phases.

Thanks Dennis, you're right that Clavius takes up more than a single FOV. I'd love to get a DMK41AF04 - then I wouldn't need to do so many mosaics. But after seeing Bird's latest Clavius mosaic, I don't think i'll ever do a clavius again

Thanks Sedna, Tycho does have great contrast in this shot. I did love the shadow of the central peak.
Thanks to everyone else for your comments. It was really nice to be processing some lunar images again, but it took days!
I've got some low-res shots from the next day that I've only just begun processing!
