Astounding Lunar Imagery

[great_bear]

I knew the name Thierry Legault was well-respected in astronomy

- but his lunar images here <click> are off-the-scale in terms of image quality!

Absolutely astonishing...

I love viewing lunar closeups of craters. Amazing images.

Love the shot of Copernicus - looks like someone has meandered through....

Thanks for sharing

Lunar images by Mike Wirth and Wes Higgins are also well worth a look.

Stunning images - so much detail - really makes it seem like a dynamic world!

Ah, but they don't have the "at-the-eyepiece" sharpness of Thierry's pics.

Wow ! Thanks for posting. I spend ages on the Montes Teneriffe area, on a good night surface detail is really interesting as are the shadows,

It's hard to get such results on high resolutions due to diffraction pattern.

I refer to this area as "The Sheep Farm" as - in my scope - it reminds me of distant white sheep on the hillside of the farm in Cumbria where I used to live.

Seriously though: Astounding images!

Quite simply the best terretsrailly-taken lunar images I've ever seen - stunning.

Hats off. I'm amazed at the detail.

Must have taken some practice to get that good.

Well, thats my next few backgrounds for the work PC sorted Stunning images. I don't see how anyone can't think the moon is such a beautiful place.
