Description

Just for fun:
I have reprocessed a video of  Vallis Alpes (februari 2018) with recent software and I used WINJUPOS to make stereographic polar projection of the final picture.
Celestron C8 XLT at f/20, ZWO ASI120MC (the first version), processed by AstroSurface and sharpened by Topaz.
Seeing was excellent, libration  was favourable and WINJUPOS contributes to the feeling that one has a perpendicular view on the moon's surface.
The rille is quite good observable considering the moderate power of the telescope.
