Hercules and Atlas
Stepping up to the images captured using the 2x Barlow we have Hercules and Atlas, two craters towards the northeast limb that have featured previously here. The higher magnification images take much longer to process but, in this case, the end result is pleasing:
Hercules is the crater to the left (69km in diameter), Atlas to the right (87km in diameter). Inside Hercules is the satellite crater Hercules G. Moving northeast from Atlas we encounter Atlas E, Atlas F and Keldysh.
