Post your favourite close up lunar crater shot..........

[Mike73]

As the title says really, lets see your favourite pic you've taken of a lunar crater (name of crater would also be good).

I have an alternative motive for this thread. I'd like to practice sketching while we have these light cloudy evenings so rather than scour the web for pics I thought it would be good to see what the SGLers can produce.

Any takers?

Very nice Peter! I sketched Copernicus the other day, is Stadius the crater in the top right corner? I thought it was the ridge of mountains below it so may have named it incorrectly?

Clavius, always loads to try and see and a great photographic target

The top right hand crater is Eratoshenes, the circular formation just below it is Stadius.

As close up as I can get with my equipment. Not sure the name if the region or craters, please identify.

My closest using me basic equipment probably be this not sure if used barlow or 1.5 x

from last year this one is clavius crater

Think i used wii cam for imaging for that pic no stacking or nothing just simple snap shot

and i know if used barlow lens it be lot closer and darker.

i now use avi recording when i do me astro imaging and get images from stacking software.

Hi all this was my 1st go at a close up of a crater, of course it had to be plato. It was captured early 2011 with my spc 880, 2x barlow attached to my 127 mak, not the sharpest images and under exsposed but i was happy with it as a 1st go.

Some great images here. Shame I can't see all of them due to new forum change but I'm sure that will get fixed soon.

Keep them coming!

[Stargazing_Cliff]

Starflyer would like to see more your super close shots that amazing.

[Jupiterholic]

This would be my favourite (and closest) shot I've ever taken. It's a 2 pane mosaic of craters Theophilus and Cyrillus taken through a 3x Televue barlow on 29th February 2012.

Two of my recent ones.

[Cloudwatcher]

This is not one of the best crater images you are likely to see but it's a favourite because it's the one in which i discovered the man in the moons hideout!

[Theninjagecko]

Here's mine with my Mak 127 a few years ago.

[Rihard]

Not great, it's just my first (beloved ) noob attempt with brand new 200P and XBOX live camera.

[Ganymede12]

Here's mine!

Theses are my first lunar pics. I'd love to here tips on how to improve!
