Lunar images from 22nd :-)

[long_arms]

Hello 

Here's a few images from the 22nd. 

The seeing was pretty good whilst I was getting some frames along the terminator, but when I turned towards the southern highlands it improved even more! Maybe the best seeing I've ever...um, seen 

First image is a mosaic of the southern portion of the terminator. Theophilus on the right is quite distinctive. 

Second is a crop from that, showing the Rupes Altai. Its a long stretch of cliffs, up to 1km high! Imagine standing on the edge and looking across the lunar surface....

Finally a mosaic of the southern highlands, really pleased how this turned out. Would love to have got this with a better resolution camera than my 0.3MP firefly though 

All taken with my 200p, the stock skywatcher 2x barlow, IR742 filter and point grey firefly mono. PIPP, registax, Microsoft ICE then PS. 

Thanks, 

Dan

Very nice mate the 200p is fantastic for Lunar close ups.

Great images Dan, it really is amazing what surface details you are getting with the 1.3mp firefly.... It really is a great value camera! (as already discussed on Twitter)

Lovely images Dan!  The level of detail in them is really very good. I guess the IR742 filter helps with smoothing out the seeing.
