Moon with LPI

Not overly happy with my setting and method with the LPI yet. This was with the supplied Autostar suite - will try K3CCDtools next.
Can anyone ident the craters for me ? Am a newby on the moon

Sorry Grant, I can't identify a section of the Moon I took the other night!

What LPI is it? Meade?, NexImage?

Grant, I found it on my Moon Map. The large one is Copernicus!!!

Here is the names.

thanks!!! I thought that was the one - but couldn't be sure.
The LPI is Meade's Lunar Planetary Imager.

It takes good images! Great stuff.

Grant,

I'd be happy with that, The moon will always have what looks like overexposed areas. What I generally do is select the "Auto-Adjust" once the camera is happy pull the exposure time back a few stops and then run it through "Curves" in PS to bring back the darker areas.

regards

That's an excellent image, well done!
