Vallis Alpes

[GazOC]

7" mak @f30. I'm not really happy with this but I like to have a bash at this feature when its on show. The valley is approx 80 miles long and 6 miles across at its widest and really gives a feel for the level of scale you can get down to with an amateur scope both visually and with a webcam.

Nice image mate! It feels a bit like one of those nose cameras they put on bombs so you can see it as it zooms into a target!

Gonna have to try and find this one!

Cheers Martin. The seeing was pretty good but the Moon was pretty low for a close up shot...thats my excuse anyway !! That image was taken with a 23a red filter to try and improve things a bit (cut out the longer wavelengths) , I think it worked...that image is a lot better than the ones I got without the filter.
