Sun, Moon & Venus from Brisbane, 7th & 8th Nov 2013.

[Dennis]

Finally managed to get round to processing some data collected over the last couple of days. Smoke from bush fires N of Brisbane seems to have taken the edge off the seeing, but overall I am still pleased with the results.

Venus from 7th Nov, Sun & Moon from 8th Nov. All taken with Tak Mewlon 180 F12, Tak x1.6 Extender and ASI120MM CCD camera

Thanks for looking.:)

Cheers

what an awesome assortment - the moon shots you were orbiting weren't you

love the moon shots and Venus. I spent about an hour eyeballing Venus at 220x it's way too bright to appreciate the detail you have.

your moon images are exceptional as always. I like comparing your pics to the view in the scope

Thanks David – it’s amazing how an image really scrubs up and pops when down sampling from 1280x960 to 800x600. Vindication of the Niquist sampling theory?:shrug:



Thanks Matt, the Moon is what enticed me into amateur astronomy and she holds a fond place in my heart.:)



Thanks Laurie, I appreciate you looking and writing your nice words.:)



Thanks Ralph – leaving the ‘scope set up and configured from the day’s solar imaging run makes taking these Moon photos very easy.:)

Cheers
