About this image

Good seeing. Moon 11.4 days, 87.9% illuminated. Gassendi and adjacent Letronne. Shadow bands looking like striations running between the Gassendi craters and the south rim of Letronne. I can't see obvious geological striations online, so just presume these are undulations in the terrain which trick the eye. Imaged here with a 2x Powermate. 4000 frames sorted in PIPP down to 3000, and best 50% of these stacked in Registax, and wavelets sharpened in Wavesharp.
