Here's my highest resolution image to date. I still have a ways to go, but I'm pretty happy with this one.

Lonnie,

Just a suggestion, if you make the image greyscale, the odd little yellow areas go away and the image probably would look even better. It's a heck of a nice image as it is.

Great shot Lonnie! beautiful detail!
Paul has a very good suggestion indeed... give it a try... as it should get rid of the yellow fringing.


Clear skies, and keep it up!

Hello Lonnie,
That is an excellent image for certain. Lots of nice detail. Super job on Rima Birt which ends right at the top (N) of your image in Rima E which is a small craterlet surrounded by a dome. Beautiful! You've got the touch. Keep it up.

Thanks Paul, Ivan, and Jim. I will try the grey scale trick and take a look at the results. There's some excellent images being posted here by many people (including yourselves) and I wanted some advice on improving my results. I am also going to try going to f25 soon. I know that I can get better resolution at that sampling, but I have to get my EQ platform aligned really well to keep the image on the 4mm chip.
