Hi Mark. A nice display of excellent lunar images. They are all well done and beautiful but my favorite is the first one with the Apeninne Mountains. Craters Archimedes and Aristillus (with central peaks) near top center and Eratosthenes (with central peaks) at the bottom of the mountain range. They all have very good contrast and lots of lunar surface details. Thanks for sharing these favorite images with us on here Mark and you and Bonnie enjoy a great weekend.
