Move your mouse over the pictures to see the names of some of the features.
This picture was taken in the early morning and the seeing was unusually steady so I used my ×2 converter lens and made this mosaic of Clavius and craters to the south. This my first experiment with a new piece of software called Focus Magic which is designed to correct pictures out of focus. My telescope at this focal length (5,000 mm) has poorer resolution than the camera, so the pictures may be considered as out of focus and Focus Magic does a good job.
The pictures were taken in the morning of 22nd October 2008 when the Moon was 22.9 days old.
The scale markers are approximately 50 Km north and west.
