What a cracker!! However I must say in all seriousness I would not pay that for a 10" scope no matter how good it was (unless it was an apo refractor of course )

Still it is one hell of a scope!

Nice image you got there Carl, but it registers as just a bit too blurred, and dark, in my opinion.

Seanie to be fair to Carl, Aristarchus is not know as the lunar lighthouse for nothing. The floor of this crater is very reflective , so in order to see any detail in the crater you need to under expose the rest of the scene. Failing that the crater floor would be burned out.

I think Carl managed to capture the crater details very well!

Dave - I agree.

Seanie, - a closed mouth gathers no feet.

Eh? You've lost me John!

Nice image mate. If you keep this up, you will pass Dave out, with the amount of images on webtreatz. Great image
