Copernicus, Clavius + Tycho

While creating the mosaic, I liked the look of a few individual frames so I processed them independantly.

Below is Copernicus, 95km x 95km big and the other bright (smaller) rayed crater to the top right is Kepler, 32km x 32km in size. South is up, East is left.




In this shot, we've got the Tycho and Clavius area on the southern rim. South is up, East is left.
Tycho (88km x 88km) is at the bottom, just right of the middle.
Clavius (231km x 231km) and the smaller craters within (Porter and Rutherford are the 2 larger ones on the left (east) rim, and Clavius D,C,N,J are the 4 smaller ones in the middle) is located above (south) and slightly to the left (east) of Tycho, just above the middle of the image.
Moretus (117km x 117km) is a prominent looking crater to the south-east of Clavius, halway to the rim.



Crater details discovered with the help of Virtual Moon Atlas!

Details:
- Captured: 1st Feb 2005, processed today
- 10" dob (no tracking) with ToUcam @ 1250mm FL (prime)
- Seeing 7-8/10
- 10fps

Comments welcome.

I think they are a bit overprocessed, but then again in astrophotography it's a bit harder to get good images than land photography.
