Mare Imbrium in colour (L3, L4, L19, L23, L26, L27, L76)

From the Sinus Iridium top left through the Mare Imbrium with the Alpine Valley in the centre.

 

Atmospheric seeing was very bad on this night and my USB 3 connection to my ZWO ASI 174 MC camera wasnt working at full speed for some reason so this is about 2000 frames stacked in AutoStakkert!3 with the best 30% chosen.
