Here is a Lunar image that I found truly outstanding.

It is located in the Maginus Region close to the Lunar Southern Pole.

Φιλε Δημήτρη,

 

I know that Wes Higgins owns a 14.5" Starmaster (Zambuto) Reflector.

 

Unfortunately I do not have more details on this particular image.

 

I will have to search my archives and get back to you.

Hey Frank,

 

Them is some really sharp images that Wes took.

I checked out the one showing Plato and the Alpine Valley.

Wow, there sure is a lot of small craters on the floor of Plato. I know that Plato has quite a few craters, but this image shows a lot more. He aslo has been able to pick up those small craters in the Alpine Valley too.

I'll go ahead and peruse through his site and enjoy his other images.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

These are some nice images of Wes Higgins, but when it comes to top Planetary & Lunar photography, my vote goes to Paolo Lazzarotti :
