Sunrise over Copernicus

[Iainp]

With wall-to-wall cloud around for the foreseeable, I'm going through old images. The animated gif shows the changes over a 3 hour period as the sun rises over Copernicus . The second one shows the scale, and the last one is a mosaic with a 2X Barlow.  All taken through 10" Meade CST.  The first 2 were captured using a cheap webcam, the final one with Skyris 618C colour camera (Red Channel extracted).

Wow, very nice, Iain, the detail in the last one is lovely, and the sunrise is such a cool idea

The animation is particularly interesting, thanks for sharing

I also like the animation

Good details, well done !

[Blazar]

Nice work there! like the animation as well. The last image is nice as well.

[Pete Presland]

very nice, loving the animation and especially the close up.  some very fine detail captured, you must have had some decent conditions.

[Iainp]

Thanks all. Yes, it was only when I got into imaging that I realised the changes on the Moon were visible over such short time frames.  This was just 55 mins apart, for example (first frame taken while the sun was still up, hence the blue)

Nice work Ian and instructive as to how quickly the view changes near the terminator.

Very well done Ian.
