Anyone tried recording meteor strikes on the moon?
Just wondering if this is something amateurs can do?
Are they bright enough to be seen from here? How to differentiate actual impacts from noise? Has anyone tried this or is it simply not worth it?
Oh, and here's a moon image from 2 nights ago - it was about the only thing salvageable from that night. I think next time I try planetary photography I will try and get out of the city to avoid thermal interference.
Mare Crisium on the right with the crater aptly named 'Picard' (I'm pretty sure no man has gone there before, boldly or otherwise). Picard is 23km across. The smaller craters visible are about 10km across. I think there is detail down to a scale of around 1-2km. On the left is a largish crater called Cleomedes. I'm assuming that's a lava tube running around the rim, but someone may correct me.
cheers
