This is my very 1st image taken with my new ProPlanet IR Pass 642nm filter. I've always liked this part of the moon. I know why I love this feature but its just got some really neat details in it. I've attempted to image this in the past but was never able to bring out the detail. I do have to say I think this filter makes a difference, at least so far. I have 2 other images that I shot with it the same night as this image. Check them out as well. Gassendi and Shickard.

Seeing was not very good and with the moon so low in the sky my scope was just clipping the top of my 7' observatory wall so I cannot wait until the moon is in a much favorable position to try this out more!

Seeing: 3 / 5
Transparency: 5 / 10
Bortle: 4.2

Thanks for looking!

Description: Tried some DeNoise prior to sharpening. I like this image, smoother less grain but loss of detail.

If you look at the 2 images leave me a comment to let me know which one you like better!

Thanks for looking!

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
