These images were actually posted this morning (Sept 1) but, like a few instances before, I stopped short at "preview" and they were lost.
Here they are again.
There were a couple of interesting proms on Aug 31, including a tiny filaprom.
Due to the seeing, I didn't try the larger setup with the c9.25 and, instead, used my LS152.

and some lunar rilles from the recent last quarter.

Very nice smooth prom images, Lou. Good catch of the filaprom. That's definitely one of the best images of detail in Schroter's valley. Prinz rilles stand out extremely well and the lighting of Aristarchus shows a lot of detail. Really nice capture.

Re: Proms on Aug31
Hi, Phil
Thanks for your comments. The "smoothness" in the proms, unfortunately, is due to the relatively poor seeing conditions during this session and also the noise reduction in Astra Image. In the past, during better seeing conditons, structural details would be seen in the proms, rather than the details being smoothed out or blurred.
The c9.25 certainly is showing its strengths in lunar imaging in the best images I've taken of lunar features and I look forward to the moon when the clouds clear tomorrow and the rest of the week.

Hi Lou...
The proms turned out nicely, and the fila-prom is processed just right to show both aspects of it
Your lunar rill shot is top notch too. Well done on all images

Re: Proms on Aug31
Nice proms, Lou. The Moon image looks so sharp that I suspect you can pick up a lunar rover on it.
