Description

It is an emblematic region of our satellite due to the presence of an amazing relief, the "cobra" or Vallis Schroeteri.

The main technical difficulty is to balance the tones due to the large difference in brightness between the terminator dipped in darkness and the brightly lit surface of the limb.

Four days after the first quarter, Vallis Schroeteri emerges here just from the lunar night while to his right the crater Aristarchus is already very bright.

Given a relatively unstable atmosphere, this image is the result of a processing of three videos.

I selected with AS images of a quality of 80% or higher (360/24000).

Despite this small percentage, it seems to me that the result is satisfactory.
