Baja moon-- but up close!


Hi all,
Can't post images full size here but heres a pic taken (by me) a while ago from at our ranch here near San Pedro Martir park.
LPOD is a website run by Charles Wood who used to work for the Johnson space centre for lunar geological studies.
His LPOD site features images done by amatuers and all manner of new and old lunar drawings and maps. he does an analysis from a geologists POV.
http://lpod.wikispaces.com/November+1%2C+2008

For me its always interesting to hear a story from his POV. The image is not really one "photo" per se but a "stacked" image (over 100) which is then digitally sharpened via software. Amateurs nowadays frequently exceed in terms of resolution images taken from space decades ago.
