Plato Craterlets
Reading Sky & Telescope on the way back from a conference, the Exploring the Moon column was about the discovery of small craters or craterlets in the crater Plato. An interesting article.
On arriving home, I decided to try and see these elusive craterlets and opened up the observatory. I found them and was able to image them. Seeing was not good, but I got one OK AVI at f30 on the C-11. Processed in Registax, PixInsight, and Photoshop. I wrote more about this on my web site blog. --Andy P.S., Sigma reject on the combine helped reduce the effect of a dead pixel on my web cam.

hi Andy,
very nice plato-image! did You use PixInsight for sharpening and/or smoothening...? I love to use Pix IS for smoothening my deepsky images`background a lot. but I have little experience in sharpening details. Dietmar

PixInsight is a very cool application. IMHO, well worth the effort of going up its high learning curve. --Andy

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments!
I did some more processing on the comparison (30 vs. 10 fps) images of Plato taken a few days after the original. The 10fps was the nicer image, its higher noise was easily handled by PixInsight. The bright portion is still overstaturated, but it is a nicer shot. The result is attached. Clear skies, --Andy
