Melius/Fabricius

[multiweb (Marc)]

Here's a annotated view of Melius/Fabricius past Mare Nectaris close to the terminator. Second one is in the same area.

Wow Marc, that is some impressive image scale right there, looks like the seeing also cooperated.

Cheers

Thanks Dennis. Bit by bit I'm getting used to it. Tonight while doing Jupiter I found out on Fire Capture that you can stabilize the image with a bounding box so it doesn't jump around. Makes life so much easier with focusing.

Impressive scale and detail. May I ask what scope you are using, I'd assume the Tak CN212 in CC mode would be the ideal for the lunar imaging

Yes it's F/12.4 at the cassegrain focus 2630mm FL. I barlowed it with a Baader Flat field converter to ~x3. The scope is a rescue that Lewis helped me put back together. Fantastic bit of kit. Much lighter to handle than my C11.
