Tycho

Hello all,

Tycho taken yesterday morning between clouds with excellent seeing.

Tycho Brahae (1546-1601) unsurpassed Danish observationist, Kepler Bully, duel loser (he had a prosthetic nose after a duel loss) and steadfast believer in a Earth-centred universe despite the results - his own - staring him in the face. On the positive side he discovered a supernova in Cassiopeia, which he deduced was beyond the moon, and also proffered the notion that comets were not "ätmospheric" in origin.

Street crater after Thomas Street (1621-1689) noted calculator of eclipses and influenced Newton and Halley.

Pictet named for Marc-Auguste Pictet (1752-1825) all-round scientist based in Geneva who for some reason published the Bibliotheque Britannique - a journal describing mainly British contributions to science, arts and literature.


Celestron Edge HD 14" and ZWO 178 MM camera. Approx 3500 frames with best 3% stacked in Autostakkert!3 and sharpened in Registax. Bintel Red Filter.

Thanks

Richard

Tycho is an old favourite when observing the moon, and you've captured it very nicely indeed here, well done. A nice little vignette on Tycho Brahae too.

Thanks all.
Tycho is indeed a favourite of mine. The ray system does not translate to close ups sadly!
