Boussingault and surroundings

About this image

Fascinating terraced features in the walls of Boussingault. The oblique angle really reveals the terrain of the southern polar region.

Fairly windy at the observing site but seeing better than average; bright day light. I have subsequently noticed there are a lot of dust bunnies, and I didn't take any flats. 65 seconds at 103fps, full chip. Best 20% of 6752 frames stacked and sharpened in AS!4 and curves adjusted in FastStoneImage Viewer.
