Description

Beautiful area visible on the north west side of a 89 % illuminated moon on 24 februari

Always a challence to capture Aristarchus with it's strong albedo thats twice as strong as full moon . 40 km in diameter and 4 km deep. I play with exposuretime 8 ms and gain 215 to avoid an over exposed Aristarchus and show some details in the craterwall.

The seeing was pretty good athough a lot of veil clouds spoiled the optimum image quality.
