Mosaic High res (less than 1 k per pixel)

i havent had a chance to do any deep sky stuff so have turned to the moon for some entertainment.

The large crater to the top is Theophilus, about 104 km across, with a central peak of 4.4km , Taken at transit on the morning of the 25th april.

Each image represents about 2 hrs of processing bit by bit.

if you have a decent moon map you can suss out the others.

the technique used and equipment is the same as my previous post on how to do it.

12 inch newt , 2.5 powermate and dmk camera.

Cheers clive

two very enthusiastic thumbs up for that!

Only suggestion would be to fill the 'no image' white sections in black... would make it easier to look at, but I guess thats personal preference

Well done!
Alex.

Very nice Clive, a great level of detail has been captured in this one.

The central peak looks great and gives a lot of perspective to the rest of the image when you realise it nearly 4.5 km high.

Cheers
