29/11 - Sunrise over Maurolycus

[Blazar]

Hi all. Found another image I had forgotten about. thought I might as well post it up as there is some quite nice detail. I can't exactly remember when I took this, but I would put it around the 29th again. Usual setup, outside the front door (though This one may be with a barlow x2).  Some of the shadows within Maurolycus highlight how impressive those walls must be. Cant advise n frame numbers as I think I deleted the AVI a while back!  Thanks as always for looking.

Regards

Very nice and sharp shot.

That is an absolutely crackin' image, there is just so much to look at. The detail and clarity is superb. Very well done. I have never been into Luna imaging, but htis would certainly encourage me to attempt it. I would certainly not come close to achieveing this standard anytime soon.

Well done again.

Thanks gents.

Ian: you use the same kit as me pretty much. The C8 and you have the QHY. You will easily get images like this. Just have a crack at it. its pretty darn addictive though... I have only had the scope less than a year, and the 120MM-s less than a couple of months. I have just been fumbling my way through processing, but it seems to work. A baader IR pass filter also helps to cut out some of the atmospheric disruption.

Cheers

Ian,

if you liked that one, have a look at one of the first ones I did with the new camera...I had not used one of planetary cameras before taking this:

My Gallery also has a lot of others in if you like them: http://stargazerslounge.com/gallery/album/3180-afocal-with-the-edge-800-hd/

Another superb image Steve, and a very humble post replying to Ian, you are getting very good at this subject, i hope to dust of the spc900 and the 150 mak for getting back to this aspect

[Blazar]

Thanks Jules. Still a lot to learn...but enjoying the journey! This forum is a great place to share and learn...

That`s a superb image Steve. Detailed and beautifully processed - bringing out that fine detail without harshness. Very well done indeed sir!

Thank you Ralph. Cant wait to get out again, but it looks as though its wall to wall cloud....starting to get withdrawal symptoms (hence looking back through old images). I have a lot more but will save those for another rainy day! Appreciate the kind comments.

Regards & Seasons greetings.

What can I add? It's all been said another great image and well annotated as usual. 

Can I be cheeky? and suggest as a help to us newcomers to luna observing that along with the excellent description you add details of directions - N and W perhaps.

Judging by the present weather we will soon have more to enjoy.

Thanks again for posting.

[Blazar]

Alan.

Thanks for the compliments. Thats a great idea re the directions. I will add these to the next images I have a go at.

Regards & seasons greetings.

[Pete Presland]

[Blazar]

Thanks for the kind words Pete. All comments are really appreciated.

[Charon]

Excellent work Steve.

[Blazar]

Thank you Charon. I would have had some more files to work on if I had not been trying something new on christmas eve....Never mind...There will be another evening ;-)

[Mak One]

Excellent stuff.  Like the descriptions and extracts - have you thought about putting all these together as some sort of online resource..?

[Blazar]

Chees Ash. I use the information I find about the place (mainly from a moon atlas). Think it adds to the images though (I can also add in stuff I find interesting about certain areas etc.
