Alpine Valley
This is an image of the Alpine Valley region of the Moon taken with the 14 inch, It's a stack of 10 images processed in Registax. The valley itself can be seen as a long, straight groove running from left to right just below center. The feature was formed with a meteorite crashed into the moon at a shallow angle to the surface.
