About this image

Whilst deleting files to free up space on the hard drive I found a 20GB *.avi video we'd taken in November 2020 of the Moon. I've processed the data and it's an OK image of Albategnius and Hipparchus - I have to confess I needed help to identify the craters using QuickMap. I've since made an animated gif of the image with the same cropped area taken by the lunar orbiter which I think both shows how good the resolution is of my image (relatively) but also shows the how much shadows enhance certain features. Joint effort with fellow BAA and Nottingham Astronomical Society member Richard Severn.
