Hi Mike,

Very nice image, it has that certain detailed look to it that I see on Paolo's images and others that use an IR pass filter.
I just purchased a Baader IR-Pass filter(670 nm) from Astro-Physics it should be here in a few days, I will post some with and with out images from it.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Wes, thank you for sharing this terrific picture..and the ghost Lambert R is the best ghost crater type I have ever seen. In geology, we refer to geologic time zones to type formations..Lambert R is the type zone for ghost craters!
Congratulations, grin

Excellent!! Saturn, it looks like it came from a much larger scope,

Hi Mike,

That is a big improvement ,how do the raw frames compare.
This has got me enthused about trying out my new IR pass filter
when the clouds clear.
