Hi Chris, Nice Mosaic - Was this through the LX90? Did you use a lot of unsharp mask - it looks 'razor sharp' - Now if you could do the whole moon at that resolution that would be really impressive.... Cheers, John

only a fraction of masking just a little bit, but the collimation and focusing was spot on. did you look at the bigger image?

Realy nice Chris, It is no wonder that before men went to the Moon they always drew the crater walls as tall thin sharp and pointy.
