[MartinB]

Please use this thread to showcase your best images captured during 2013. Just one post per member but you can include up to 5 images if you want.

The thread is for all imagers novices and advanced. 

Please keep details to a minimum - scope and camera possibly along with a few comments.

The thread needs to be packed with images so please don't respond to the postings

Here's a few from 2013, (my first year with my first equipment). 

I've really enjoyed imaging the moon.  Unlike certain other forms of astrophotography, you get a fantastic view of the subject during the process!

These are all mosaics and all taken with a 0.3MP point grey firefly mono and my Skywatcher 200p on a heq5 mount.  

Haven't updated my flickr with lots of newer ones but these are my favourites anyhow. 

First my image of the (almost) full moon from September.

Second a closeup of the crater Langrenus, taken with the stock 2x barlow and an IR 742 filter.

Mosaic of the whole crescent moon from the session above.

Finally a crop of the central portion of the waxing crescent. From the same session as above but processed differently

I've got the ASI120MM on the way. With twice the resolution of the firefly, I'm really excited about more lunar imaging this year  !

These photos are not a patch on some on here. Only one's iv ever taken which was just a few week ago. And with my iPhone.

Have to admit I've only just started getting a buzz for lunar images but here are my favourites from this year.

First, two exposures of the moon combined to show the sunlit side along with the dark side, gently illuminated by 'Earthshine'.

Next, Theolphilus, Cyrillus, Catharina, Piccolomini and the Altai Scarp with a striking shadow.

Finally, a view of Aristoteles, Eudoxus and the Montes Caucasus.

Here is probably my best image for 2013, this was captured A-focal using 150pds and my Pentax optio T30, a video of over 1000 frames then about 750 frames stacked in registax 5

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Just a few attempts this year, most with 80mm F/6

ASI130MM

EOS450D

Some amazing photos already on here    

The skill levels of people on this site is frightening! I really like Marc's idea of combining exposures of the sunlit and dark side.

Anyway, here's my best / clearest moon shot from last year.

How do I upload a pic. I can't do it from my iPhone. Do I have to be on the laptop ?

[zionvlad]

Great and awesome pics forms all.

Mine is not as great like the ones from here, but I wanted to share it my moon shot.

Sooo the worst image of the moon taken with a mobile and without any kind of stacking here goes my image.
