out on a limb...

hey, i never know when i am going to be able to go outside with my telescope... so when theres gale force winds and less than 50% cloud cover and i am avaliable, then i am out there!

after a poor effort or moretus (mike likes this one) i decided to get out ther tonight and see if donditions would allow less blurry pics. i tuned my collimation a bit further as it was way out last time and went hunting around the edges of the moon for anything worth taking a happy snap of.
the wind was gusting and the seeing was only 2/10 at the most most of the time (sometimes but rarely 3/10).... this said i am actually quite happy with some of these.

we have:
  • grimaldi to byrgius
  • gmaldi centered
  • pythagorus
and
  • xenophanes which i am particularly fond of for some reason
now all i need is good seeing...
feel free to coment
