There are a lot better quality pics from earth at anacortes!!!

I don't think so! The resolution is a lot better than you can get from
Earth: 76m/pixel is equivalent to 0.04 arcseconds. The smallest craters
visible in this image are around 200m across; the famous craterlets
inside Plato- which are considered a challenge to see or image- are
around 2km across.

Of course, there is no telescope on Earth that is capable of imaging
this particular structure at any resolution.



That's not what I meant. It's GRAINY..bad quality for something that's
right there...and even you can't argue with that!!
