Close up and personal with the moon

Hi All
I dont normally do the moon, but back in september I took a 58 panel panorama using my 12"Lx200 R and a DMK 41 mono camera.
At the time I could not get the thing to stack. I had all sorts of issues with the different programs I tried .
I recently upgraded to a new PC with more processing power and lots more ram, tried again and managed to get it to knit together.

The image is too big to post here its 6500 x 6500. so its the equivelent of a 42mega pixel camera I gues :-)
The resulting tif was 126mb which might be too big for most people to even bother.Due to its dimensions its too big to post here.
I have two heavilly jpeg compressed versions on my web site, they still look OK.
The full size image is about 1.2mb

This second link is to a little 2000x2000 200k version

Depending on your browser when you click on link it should simply display the iimage in your browser but might shrink it to fit. However after a few seconds you should get a magnify Icon. Clicking on the image will then display at full res.

Regards
