Plato

The next stop was Plato, just a short hop north across Mare Imbrium. My last images of Plato were taken in November and I was hoping for something better this time.

Here are the picks:


Similarly to Eratosthenes in my last post, this image is much crisper than my previous efforts. The shadows clearly show the jagged shape of the crater rim. Below Plato and slightly to the right, the light falling on Mons Pico makes it look much taller than its 2.4km height.


I think this is my best image using the 2x Barlow. Sections of the video were so clear that I'm hoping to get a sharper picture by processing it differently. I'm just not sure how to do it at the moment.
