After capturing my pair of shots for my panoramic of the moon, I used my SPC900 webcam to get in much closer on the region around the crater Langrenus (about 80miles across), in the closer shot there are 3 craters to the left that sort of make an arrow pointing to it. The much higher power possible thanks to the 8.5x crop factor of the tiny sensor means you can get in much closer, but... You are more affected by seeing (atmospherics) which is where the 10 fps of the SPC900 comes into it's own. I captured an AVI and stacked all the frames into a single image, eliminating as much as possible of the wobbly effects of the seeing.
A wide view - due to some oddity of the stacking process (I think field movement and clouds), the left hand edge has been cropped
And in closer (using a 2x barlow (astro magnifier))
and colourised a little
Thanks for looking, the images are full size, the camera is 640x480 pixels
