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

[Rocket Pooch]

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

[JohnP]

Yep! Pretty darn impressive... Did you identify any of the craters?

[Rocket Pooch]

nope but I know a man who can did you look at the big image?

[JohnP]

Yep! (for the 2nd time)

[Rocket Pooch]

good just checking would not want it to go to waste

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.
