[The Thing]

My best ever image of the Moon even if I say so myself. If you click the image will open full resolution uncropped. I am amazed that my old Meade LX90 8" can capture such detail as the little craters and rills. The air is very clear here due to the lack of anything moving on the ground or in the air so that helped I'm sure.

25% of 1000 frames. All the details are below the picture, thank you FireCapture. PlanetarySystemStacker is very easy to use once you've read the manual and whizzed through the data. I used slightly larger alignment points and 4 sharpening layers. No other processing except JPG conversion in IrfanView.
