Hi Robert,

A very! impressive image even more so for the conditions, it looks like you are getting the color worked out well now with the LUO75C, I may need to get some pointers from you on that.

Thanks,

Hi,

Another image taken with the Infinity 1.4mp camera,

Thanks,

Hi Robert,

For just 2-3/10 seeing that is an excellent image, in fact it would be an excellent image for 7/10 seeing smile good processing too.

Shadows in Maurolycus

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

This low sun angle image brings out more floor detail at the expense of a few overexposed areas at the top of the crater but overall I prefer low sun angle images.

18" Reflector, Infinity 2-1 camera, 28fps, 680nm IR pass filter, stack of 500 frames
