This time of the year is always the best for the moon due to it being high in the sky in the evening. The seeing was also good today so I thought I'd have a go at imaging Gassendi due to the nice rille system on its floor. The result certainly reaches the theoretical resolution of a 250 mm telescope. According to moon trek the smallest craters are around 800m in diameter or about 0.42 arcseconds
