Description

Captured with Sharpcap at prime focus of a Celestron C8.
Gain 180, 2ms. Stacked with AS!3, 500 out of 1000 frames. Wavelets with Reg6. Balanced with PS CS2 and slightly sharpened with Topaz Sharpen AI.

The video has been taken one hour before full moon.
A moderate libration (l = 3,4°) allowed me to have a nice view on Mare Orientale surrounded by the Montes Cordillera and Montes Rook. The crater Kopff (diameter 41km) is clearly visible. After some zooming in on Kopff, somewhat to the left, a glimpse of the illuminated rim of the 16 km diameter crater Hohmann can be seen. This crater is located at the center of the Mare.
