Not bad for such equipment. Is this a single frame or a stacked series?

I apologize, I see it was processed in an autostacker, so it must be a series.

The crater is not called Archazel, but Arzachel.

Thank you for correcting me; for some reason, I always thought the crater was called Archazel, not Arzachel.

By the way, Arzachel also sounds strange, considering it's named after an Arab astronomer and mathematician of Jewish origin, a resident of Toledo (modern-day Spain), whose full name is Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn Yahya al-Naqqash al-Zarqali.
