I'll have to look for it, when I can get the opportunity. Clear skies!

Great work as always Mike. Always wild to see what another ten inches added onto my 8 can do!

Still an interesting area, domes L6 and L5 talked about here: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2008/pdf/1122.pdf Only 160M height! cheers Mike Post Extras:       RobDob sage Reged: 04/10/10 Loc: Brentwood (East Bay Area), CA Re: Dome in Sinus Iridum [Re: mikewirths]       #5657488 - 02/02/13 01:21 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Soft shmoft, it looks great! Cool that it has a sort of squarish base to it. Makes me wonder if that and other domes were responsible for dumping that sea of lava forming the Sinus Iridum... Also love how your image captured the 'waves'. They almost appear to have white caps! Rob Post Extras:       Pages: 1
