Description

Taken at f20 in my 8" SCT (4000mm), this LRGB image comprises 100 subs, with a hard edge filter applied to emphasise the craggy rims and high peaks in these magnificent craters.

This image explores the detail around Albategnius and the long deep shadows in Ptolemaeus. If you are planning a route, be warned, Albategnius is 114 km in diameter, 4 km deep, and the central peak rises to 1.5 km from the crater floor. Awesome.
