Some Lunar love from Brisbane

Here are some lunar images from 18th and 19th Sept from Brisbane.

The 1st 4 were from the 18th were seeing was between 6 and 7/10 whereas the last 4 were from the 19th where the seeing had dropped to between 5 and 6/10.

All taken with the ZWO ASI 174MM, Tak Mewlon 201 and Tak x1.6 Extender.

Cheers

Dennis

Thanks Stuart, David & Marc, I appreciate your comments.

@David: sorry, no mosaic. This was my 1st time setting up for a while and as I was a little rusty I decided on a "play-and-enjoy" session rather than a full on imaging mission.

How rusty was I? Well, it took me a few goes to work out why Autostakkert was cropping my AVI's...I had "Planet" and not "Surface" selected.

Cheers

Dennis

Thanks.

Awesome! What's the name of this crater if it has one? http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/a...e.php?a=233969

I wonder whether ballistic/forensic experts are among moon photographers and what goes through their heads when look at the craters. The rim and outer landscape of the one in the linked photo looks like a volcanic explosion site from the innards of the moon, not an impact crater of an object crashing onto the surface?

Hi Annette

Here is a screen capture of the region from the "Virtual Moon Atlas", an amazing free application that has Lunar orbiter and other Spacecraft images.

Cheers

Couldn't see the particular landscape nor the crater in your screenshot.
So I reverse-looked up your photo on the web and found the funny crater's name is Aristillus. And that the first lunar landing in 1959 happened in the gap between it's 2 neighbouring craters Archimedes and Autolycus.

Your photos should be on Wikipedia, you know? So detailed and natural looking - amazing!

Hi Annette

Good detective work.

The http link in your original post took me to the Hyginus Rille image (#1 in the series of 8), hence the "wrong" screen print.

Thanks for your nice comments, I appreciate them.

Cheers

Dennis

Thanks Peter, although I wouldn't admit to it on the DSO Forum, the Moon remains one of my favourite objects.

Easy to find and heaps of details.

Cheers

Dennis

Thanks Peter, I appreciate your comments.

A combination of some good seeing conditions, along with the larger chip size of the ASI174MM (1900x1200) and a series of amazing apps like FireCapture (Camera Control), Autostakkert (AVI Processing) and Registax (Wavelets) really helps kick things along.

Cheers

Dennis

When I clicked on the first photo and it opened, an involuntary "OH, YEAH!" came out.

Great stuff, mate!

Thanks Rob, and careful what you wish for, I was out again last night (Fri 21st Sept) and under orders from the IIS Moon Mosaic Maestro (H0ughy), I gathered 26 AVI's to make a mosaic.

Cheers

Dennis
