Hey David

Wow - your libration angle is worse that mine, which in itself was worse than Zac's. These images have been quite a revelation for me as I previously thought that libration only produced minor effects.

Cheers

Hi Ving,

good to see you putting some images together.

Gruemberger ..... Isn't that a type of cheese?

..... probably green cheese too!

thanks denis

so dues to the rocking motion of the moon we can see parts that would otherwise be hidden just on the other side? Wow!

i am now impressed with my crappy picture

Err...well...yes and no, or not quite the full truth here. Your image shows a poor libration for the southern limb, although if you had imaged the northern limb, it would be good libration at that limb.

Confusing isn't it.

Cheers

Maybe, but there's quite a few pics of moretus, by Dennis, Zac, Sheeny and others

Libration is a funny thing, I captured something on teh north pole the other night thanks to favourable libration. It looked very interesting, never seen it before and i'm looking forward to processing it.

Hey Ving, nice lunar limb work... but my eyes haven't stopped bleeding

Good one Ving

ving (David) · #18 07-09-2006, 09:36 AM

lol, thanks robert

did you convert to greyscale? lots of people seem to do that with lunar images, makes them for some reason look better

look forward to more, once all this rain goes away

ving (David) · #20 07-09-2006, 10:12 AM

yeah i am looking to more too

its not converted to grey scale. but it was only a quick process too... maybe i'll have another go at it, but it like flogging a dead horse, the avi is really poor
