Description

Near the center of the visible face of the moon, this is a merge of 8 layers in Photoshop of images I took 12-May-2008 in Loveland Ohio at 1st quarter moon. Scope is Vixen 102mm f9 fluorite APO refractor, 3x barlow, 15mm plossl eyepiece afocal to Canon G3 camera at 4x optical zoom. Each image is 1/8 second at 400 iso. After layers, some wavelet enhancement done with Registax 4. In the middle of the large crater Albategnius is alpha-Albategnius, a 20km long 10km wide peak. Crater Klein is in the lower left corner of the larger Albategnius.
