Very nice work.

Hi Zac

That is another excellent image of one of my favourite areas of the moon, and one of the most interesting too. I note that you have resolved the chain of tiny craterlets in the rille inside the Alpine Valley.

Cheers

Zac,

One of the best shots of this area of the moon I have seen. Outstanding !!

Sweet image Zac,
those extra wide fields and sharp focus across the entire image creates that "I am orbiting the moon in a spaceship" kind of type of feeling

Hi Zac,

that image is one of the sharpest I have seen of the moon, well done

[Zac Pujic]

Thanks everyone.

Dennis, yes not many are aware of this tiny crater chain in the Alpine Valley. It is thought they formed in a similar manner to the Huyginus rille crater chains, through eruptive forces rather than impact.

Hi Zac, love the lunar images, they are so crisp, clear and detailed, it is like you are just hovering above them.
