Lunar mosaic - Plato, Vallis Alpes, Cassini, Archimedes, Apennines and Mare Imbrium
Hello,
WE had another night of good seeing in Brisbane, although high-level mackerel clouds played havoc with the AVI’s. Despite their intrusion, I managed to grab 6 panes before the conditions became unworkable.
This region covers the classical lunar showpieces of Plato, Vallis Alpes, Cassini, Aristillus, Autolycus, Archimedes and the Apennine Mountains and Mare Imbrium.
Cheers
Dennis

Thanks, Warren, Ray and Bob – the good seeing certainly helps, especially during the long hours of post capture image processing!

That is really good Dennis, almost three dimensional.
What camera did you use and what scope?
