Image captured December 28, 2003 from video using a Panasonic video camera coupled to a 10-inch newtonian. 300 images were selected from a sequence of 1800 images using HandyAvi. Registax was then used to composite the best 100 of these. Final tone adjustment was accomplished using Ulead Image Editor. |

An annotated version of the above image. Mare Crisium has a diameter of approximately 570 km which is comparable to the size of Great Britain [Antonin Rukl, Atlas of the Moon, Kalmbach Publishing, 1990, p80]. The small crater Proclus can also be seen in this picture. Proclus is easily identified under most lunar lighting conditions since it is a very reflective crater surrounded by a bright set of rays. |
