Some Moonage
Here's a few lunar shots from last Thursday night and Saturday night. Seeing was terrible on Thursday, so all shots at at f/10 with the C8, DMK and UV/IR filter. Conditions were better on Saturday night so the 2.5x Powermate got a run too.

Thought I'd better have a go at this again so I don't forget even though the moon is only very low in the sky in the evenings.

I'm very happy with the Clavius under the conditions!

Capernicus and Plato are my 2 favourite craters.
Pity the seeing wasn't in your favour, but they're great pics just the same.

Well done Al,

A nice set of images, fancy I can see at least 3 craterlets in Plato and Eratosthenes is one of my favorite craters with its very distinct terracing.

Regards
Trevor

Al,

A couple of wonderful sets of images. The final image in the second set is the winner for me.

Thanks guys!

I have a heap more to process, but there may not be too many more worth posting from the 7th. The seeing deteriorated quite badly. I have a second Clavius taken late in the night and it is just mush by comparison. Maybe a couple more from the 5th, but they are lores anyway due to the bad seeing...

Al.

Best set of close up moon images I've seen ... including books.

The Clavius shot shows so much, and the smoothness & ripples in the Sinus Iridum is magnificent.

Cheers,
Jeff

Thanks Carl and Jeff.

Jupiterage ...hmm... might have to dust off the ToUcam for that. I don't have any filters for the DMK. I could always use the ToUcam for the RGB and DMK for L, but I think the changeover time might be too long (too much rotation)...

ATM my bias is leaning towards Spectroscopy more than imaging though...

Here's a few more.
