The crater itself was log stretched to avoid an excessive ground darkening all way around it. I'm now sure the Moon is also interesting when observed far away from the terminator. http://www.lazzarotti-hires.com/index.php A new session is yet to come.

The rim of Yerkes looks brighter and thinner than I see it at high sun. Very nice detail in this image.
