This is my favourite crater. Its walled plain is decorated by a half circle of 6 small craters like a string of pearls. They are nicely sorted according to size - Rutherfurd - Clavius D - C - N - J - JA. The diameter of Clavius is 225km.

The seeing was very unsteady - I have never encountered such bad seeing so far. I was not able to focus! You can look at sample AVI which demonstrates the poor seeing conditions here.
But I haven't given up and I captured 11 AVI files with total size of 2GB - 3327 frames. First of all I had to filter a large amount of useless frames.

Processing:
1, From each captured AVI file I automatically selected the best frames in K3CCDTools and exported them to BMP sequence - as a result I got about 1600 frames
2, I loaded 1600 BMP frames into K3CCDTools and export them to AVI file
3, 300 best frames were stacked in Registax
4, Soft wavelet in Registax
5, Unsharp mask (1, 0, 133) in K3CCDTools
6, Converted to grayscale in PhotoPaint
7, Gaussian blur 0.6pix + adaptive unsharp mask 75%

The second image is the result of processing the stacked image from Registax (product of step 3,) and further processing in K3CCDTools:
4, Unsharp mask (3, 0, 500) in K3CCDTools
5, Unsharp mask (2, 0, 150) in K3CCDTools
6, Converted to grayscale in PhotoPaint
7, Gaussian blur 0.6pix + adaptive unsharp mask 75%

Processing:
1, Stacked in Registax (40 best frames) with Partial coverage + Expand image options checked
2, Soft wavelet in Registax + gamma 1.10
3, Unsharp mask (1, 0, 200) in K3CCDTools
4, Color balance and histogram stretching in Corel PhotoPaint

Processing:
1, Automatic selection of 150 best frames in K3CCDTools
2, Stacked in X2 mode in K3CCDTools
3, Histogram color autobalance + gamma 1.10 + unsharp mask (3, 0, 600) in K3CCDTools
4, Saved as PNG image and loaded into another K3CCDTools session
5, Applied another unsharp mask (2, 0, 100) to PNG image

Rupes Recta (The Straight Wall) is the best known breakage on the Moon. Parallel to Rupes Recta the Rima Birt is situated. Craters Birt and Birt A are nicely visible.

The same night, another AVI file

Nice shadow of Plato's crater border is visible in the bottom of crater Plato. In the bottom of Vallis Alpes there is a very thin furrow - only a few hundreed meters wide. It is not visible in my photograph, but it is challenge for me to future.
The conditions were rather bad - strong wind strokes cased scope vibrations. I captured AVIs between these wind strokes. I also noticed, that my scope was not properly collimated, but I didn't want to adjust it in such windy weather.

The same AVI file as above. Unfortunatelly, the best frames of the AVI file didn't contain Eratosthenes crater. So I decided to process at least nearest surrounding of Copernicus crater. The best 40 frames were selected and stacked. The crater is more sharp than in above photo.

The same source as above, but new features of K3CCDTools were used (best frames selection+unsharp-mask).
16 best frames of 111 were selected, stacked and unsharp-masked in K3CCDTools.

When the Moon appeared in a hole between clouds appeared, I took my scope out to the balcony. It was in 21:05 (local time). I switched on my fan cooling system and in 35 minutes I was able to image (without fan I was able to image after 2 hours). Unfortunatelly, clouds covered the whole sky and I could image only through clouds. That's why I had to use relatively long exposure 1/5s and high gain.
But I am pleased with result.
It is interesting to see the central peak in Alphonsus crater and compare it to the below photo.

Processing:
1, I joined 3 captured AVIs into one file in by means of VirtualDub
2, found best frame in K3CCDTools and used as reference frame in Registax
3, 119 frames stacked in Registax in Expand mode
4, applied various wavelet settings - the borders of photo (in Expand mode) are too distorted when stronger wavelet is used
5, mosaic from more result bitmaps was created in Corel PhotoPaint (softer wavelet bitmaps are used in image borders)
6, mosaic combined with direct result of Registax in K3CCDTools

I also tried all processing in K3CCDTools and get very same result (undistinguishable). Finally I used Registax result, because of its Expand mode (wider result field of view).

Rima Hyginus is very interesting lunar feature. It is 220km long and is divided by crater Hyginus. The width of rima is 2-3km, the depth several hundreds meters.
In the lower left part Rima Triesnecker is visible.

That's why the result is rather noisy and not sharp.
