Pic 2. South pole region. Crater Stofler at lower right.
Pic 3. Area around Altai scarp, with craters Catharina, Cyrillus, Theophilus.
Thanks for viewing. Cheers John W.

Nice shots John - fine detail and interesting areas.

[Star Catcher (Ted Dobosz)]

They came up really well John. Especially given the higher magnifications you used, well done.

Ted and others: Thanks for comments - the improved optics of my new Meade LX600 10 inch helped give better pics - magnification was about x100. I'll look forward to my next lot of pics and more experimenting. Cheers.
