Apollo 11, Surveyor 5 and Ranger 8 Missions

[Dennis]

Managed to dust off the 'scope and mount last night to self-isolate in our back garden. I even remembered how to set up all the HW and run the SW after a few months spent gathering dust.:)

Here is a region of the Moon that has the 3 craterlets Armstrong, Collins & Aldrin as well as the Apollo 11, Surveyor 5 and Ranger 8 Missions.

The seeing wasn’t as good as I had expected from looking at the Jetstream charts, but enough to work with at a relatively short focal length of 3864mm with the ASI1600MM.:)

Cheers

Thanks Ron, I must take the camera off and have a look with the Mk 1 eyeball next time, it is quite a different and rewarding experience looking through the eyepiece.:)

Cheers
