A Few Moon Images

[Matty P (Matt)]

Here are a couple of Moon images I captured last night. The seeing was OK for imaging but the conditions soon dropped below crappy.

Both were taken with the DMK shooting at 60fps, MAP in Registax 4 and a light touch up in PS.

Can anyone identify what I captured on the Moon?

In the first image, the chopped off crater at the bottom is Archimedes and the one diagonally up to the left on the mountain is Conon and I think the one top left with the central peak is Menelaus.

In the second image, the distinct crater with central peak at the bottom slightly left of center is Maurolycus. Coming further left, the one with the overlapping craters on its rim is Barocius. Going right of Maurolycus, the big flat bottomed crater is Stofler, with Faraday on its rim.

Nice pic considering the seeing, which was pretty terrible where I am.

Thanks Geoff,

I am still waiting for the day with perfect conditions for imaging. I might be waiting for a long time.
