This is really excellent, Guillaume!
It looks as if I can reach out and touch the craters. Beautiful image of Clavius. Thanks

Phil

My, my, my, that is wonderfully sharp. Phil is right - it does look so touchable.

Very nice, Guillaume, bravo.

Now that's what I call a proper report - and an excellent photo to boot despite the poor seeing. The little craterlets on the floor of Clavius came up really well.

Well done!

Hi Guillaume nice work very crisp and clear. Tycos rays shine just enough to offset the image a tad. Again very nice job.
