Description

Taken the morning of Nov 6th, 2020, using the CGE11 the QHY5III178M camera at focus (no barlow). Mare Vaporum area, pretty much in the central region of the moon. The Apennine mountain range is to the west bordering Mare Imbrium (North is up). I have to be honest - I had a hard time finding information about this area as my lunar map, lunar Atlas, and "usual" net sources didn't have a lot of detail. I ended up finding the info I wanted from the chamaeleon-observatory. With the seeing as it was, I was particularly attracted to the detail in the sloping hills toward the east. To this point I had never noted Rima Conon before 4000 frames taken, best 20% processed and sharpened in Autostakkert 3 and tweaked in PSCC.
