Hi Perry -

By quick measurement the smallest craters on the floor of Bayer appear to be about 1 kilometer in diameter. In good seeing I have been able to record craters down to about 600 meters with the 10" mak - the seeing and oblique angle did not help the resolution on this occasion.

best,

Alan

May a newbie break in here??

I am simply amazed, astounded, and ATR (all-the-rest)
at this discussion on Schiller. I find it educational
and enlightening. Most of all, I appreciate the
knowledge and passion of those contributing to my
learning.

One quick question re this Schiller astrophoto: What
is the approximate size of the smallest detail that
can be eyeballed in it?? Info like that is also
intriguing, at least to me, but generally not
discussed.

Thanks from an astronomy kindergartner, but who is
learning!!
