Schiller

Captured on August 6, 2006 this image is a mosaic of two stacked images. Captured by negative projection with my Celestron C8 with a 2.5x Powermate moon filter and ToUcam 840 Pro. K3ccdtools was the capture software. Registax was used to stack the best 100 or so frames from each avi, and apply wavelets. Photoshop CS2 was used to merge the images, crop and save for the web. Resolution is about 400m per pixel. Click on the image to see it full size.

The main crater in this image is Schiller which is 179 kms long and 79 kms wide. The mountain ridge in the northwestern end of Schiller is clearly visible in this image. Below Schiller is Bayer a 47km diameter crater with a small internal craterlet, Bayer G, just 7kms in diameter.

In the top right hand corner are Bettinus and Kircher. Bettinus is 71kms in diameter and the tip of it's central peak is just visible in this image. Kircher is a 73km diameter crater with a flooded floor.

Halfway between Schiller and the right hand edge of the image is Rost, a 49km diameter crater with a flooded floor. Rost's walls are 2000m high. At about 10:30 from Rost is Rost A, a 39km diameter crater, and below Rost in the image is Rost M which is 23kms in diameter.
