I count about a dozen craters in Plato on your picture.  Nice going!

Thanks, Sandy - at full size (and with some reference help from Clementine and Wes Higgin's extraordinary images with his 18" Starmaster) I can identify about 20 craterlets.

In case anyone one is interested - the stacking routines that Alan mentions is something new in Astro IIDC 3.0. You can now do multiple manual area selections in Astro IIDC from a single movie, so you can selective align on a different features and generates an image stack for each one.

A very valuable tool - especially useful for lunar and solar or for any project that uses a large area of the chip in less than perfect seeing.  To my knowledge, it is unique to Astro IIDC (upcoming 3.0). 

Thanks for your sharing comments -
