Details:
The picture is a stack of 290 frames taken few days ago with a 8 inches Ritchey-Chrétien telescope and a QHY5-II camera.
I stacked the frames with some Matlab code I've written today without attempting to address the effect of the seeing but the result looks quite good anyway.
The smallest details which can be appreciated are about 3 km wide (see i.e. the Pico K crater below Mont Pico) and also the Rima Plato is well visible right to the crater.
The image sampling step is 0.44 arcsec/pixel (750 m/pixel) or about the height of an average man photographed from 840 km away.
