Hi,
After about a seven month break from lunar imaging I'm back into it now, here are two new images with more to come.
Curtius-Pentland-Simpelius imaged 07/22/08, a stack of only 74 frames which made it difficult to keep the noise down.

18" Reflector, UT= 10:11, Infinity 21-m camera, MAP 91X64, stack of 74 frames.
Thanks,
Wes Higgins

Wonderful images Wes.
Very interesting to look at the different shadows cast by the craters and peaks. Adds to the 3-D perspective.

Those are sick!!!
Out of interest - what would the scale be?
I estimate your Catharina shot is about 200km accross.

Thanks,
I get a measurement of about 280km across the frame, judging from some of my other images the Catharina image has a resolution down to about 500 to 600 meters, my best is about 350 to 400 meters (a Deslandres image)
