On the 20th and 22nd March, I had two very busy mornings - capturing Jupiter, the ISS and the Moon all in the space of 2 hours on each of the days. I have finally finished processing the lunar images and am happy to be able to post these.

I used the 2x barlow to capture the ISS and used the Moon to test focus, so I captured a range of targets while waiting for the ISS to appear. Included here are Copernicus, Sinus Iridum, Bullialdus, Aristarchus, Gassendi and Schickard.

I love the shadow-work with Gassendi, really makes the crater jump out.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice series Mike in such a packed schedule. I like Aristarchus the best. You really handled the contrast superbly. Thanks for posting them.
Cheers

Very nice Mike.
I reckon Schickard looks even more impressive when I flip it
180°. :shrug:

Definitely had a bust night there Mike,

Nice selection of images but I like Sinus Iridium the best, the seeing looks to have co-operated to a greater extent for this image.

Well done
Cheers
