Copernicus Crater taken 20/04/2012

This is a stacked image of Copernicus Crater on  the Moon. I always think of it as the big one in the middle. It was taken using 352 images @ 15 frames per second using my £28 Microsoft HD Lifecam from ebay afocal on my Meade Etx 105. I used Registax to do the stacking.

Copernicus is 57 miles in diameter and its crater rays spead out for nearly 500 miles. Named after Nicolaus Copernicus it is estimated to be about 800 million years old.
