About this image

The telescope wasn't at thermal equilibrium and the seeing was only poor to fair, but with the 742nm pass through filter on I'm happy with the results of this fascinating crater, here being illuminated on a 3.3 day old (12.1% illuminated) Moon with the Sun still above the horizon. Best 5% of frames stacked and sharpened in AS!4, levels and curves adjusted in FastStone Image Viewer.
