Description

Moon crater Theophilus (diameter 104 Km) and surroundings.

The small crater at the rim of crater Theophilus has a diameter of 8.2 Km.

Smallest crater at the mare may be close to 1 Km. (goto high resolution)

This is probably the limit of resolution for a 8" telescope at my seeing conditions.

(heavy air turbulances)

Use of guiding on the moon ? Yes, I used guiding for this image. The Meade Envisage Software has an

option to track on dark spots as well. So I choose a suitable small dark crater close to the target crater for that.

Reason was the slight windy conditiions and the number of frames (2000 a 50ms = 100 s) captured
