The Crater Clavius on the Moon

I think the images below again show that the built in Barlow lens in the Questar is of little benefit with the Olympus C2020Z.

Without Barlow, resized larger to match next image

With Barlow

The following images were made around 5:00AM EDT July 24, 2000 09:00 UTC approximately.

They have been clipped, and some have been resized (as noted). All have been adjusted in gamma, brightness and contrast in an effort to make them match each other in tone. No sharpening has been performed on any of them.

The first image was taken when the camera was accidentally set for the lower resolution. The small difference is remarkable. Much of it is caused by the motion of the moon and earth in their orbits during the 5m45s interval between the shots.
