Afocal Moon 3rd May. Rupes Recta

[Inmykombi (Geoff)]

Hi all,

I took some nice images in steady seeing on 3rd May with a good mate, through a 10 inch Dob with a really nice mirror set to see what they would be like.

I am happy with the results through Rick Petrie's scope.
Just my normal Canon IXUS 70 compact digital camera with a bracket holding it to the eyepiece. exposures were ranging from 1/3oth sec to 1/100th sec. Cant remember what this one is but it shows the Wall " Rupes Recta " very well. This wall is about 140 klm long from what I can work out.


Thx for looking again.

You're the king of Afocal Geoffro!
Brilliant capture.

[Inmykombi (Geoff)]

Thanks very much Jeanette.

I have been waiting to image the " wall " for a good while.

Very nice Geoff.

Isnt it amazing what can be acomplished with just a little compact. It looks like you use the same (or very similar) camera to mine.

Loverly sharp image and lots of craters. I like it. And the wall shows up terrific. Well done!

[Inmykombi (Geoff)]

Cheers Wade.
Thx for the comments.
