Folks - this is a post Alan made on the astro-physics user group. I've posted his links here before.
I swear - he must have a secret lunar module and takes a few orbits around the moon every few months. These are truly stunning images.

Hi all,
It's been quite some time since I've posted a new lunar image. Here is a large mosaic that I've been working on for some time. The data was captured more than a year ago on my first night out with my DMK 41 series camera. Seeing was average so I used the A-P 10" mak/cass at it's prime focus (f14.6) The panorama captured many oft imaged features, but I was excited to find the cheshire cat smile of elusive Ina (#99 on Dr. Chuck Wood's lunar 100) was recorded at this relatively short focal length.
The original image is quite large (2.6 mb):

A reduced size version is available here:

I preferred this horizontal presentation, but a more traditional north- up version can be found here:

I hope you enjoy it! Now on to some more recent captures...
best wishes,
Alan
