< Previous Next >I've always wanted to image this very beautiful crater and try to catch the little craterlets in the Plato floor. This time the seeing was good or even excellent. I managed to get three those in my image! Visually those little craters were popping into view like pop corns using 12" dobson and 4mm Radian of my buddy.
