Recent Lunar Images (5/21/21)

With a descent moon elevation and average seeing revisited a few lunar favorites. The ASI 178MC was used to acquire 1000 800x600 pixel prime focus video frames at 60 fps. Autostakkert! was used to average the best 15% (150) of frames. Brightness touches and wavelet sharpening were done using simple scripts written by me for Paintshop Pro 2021. For help identifying features  recently acquired Virtual Moon Atlas v.7.0 free software was used. In the program features are either labeled or you can click on them to display labels. The date can be set to show the location of the terminator.
