Description

I stacked 20% of 1,5 min footage (30 fps) video in Autostakkert!2 and post-processed the image in GIMP. The image was taken with hand-held camera afocally above ?10 mm lens and 2x Barlow lens.

See the original video-footage here:

This video shows a mountainous area near Mare Imbrium as seen throught apochromatic refractor Skywatcher 120 ED. Look at the shadows being casted by the highest peaks of Caucasus Montes (middle). The amazing "wrinkled" surroundings of crater Aristillus (largest crater in the middle). Large crater Cassini with two smaller craters in it (above Aristillus). Very bright mountain Piton ascending from darkness (above Cassini). Or Vallis Alpis, long linear structure in lunar Alps that was flooded by basaltic lava (left from Piton).
