27/3 Montes Caucasus (inc Mons Piton)

[Blazar]

This was an early evening shot of the surface (1800 hrs) on the 27/3. This was without the barlow etc that I have been messing about with, and because of the early imaging session, the subtle greys of the surface take on a different hue and the contrast of the shot is reduced), though I kind of like the effect on the mono 120. This image specifically highlighted Mons Piton (The small isolated island peak to the left of the crater Cassini). I sat here as I was processing it, and thought what it must be like to stand on the top and look around...an island of light in a sea of darkness...must be quite a moving sight.  Taken with the usual setup, from out side the front door.

Thanks for looking.

Wonderful, as ever, Steve. Thanks. But I cant resist this:

...an island of light in a sea of darkness...

That'll be your dark adaptation ruined, then ...

[Blazar]

Thanks Michael and Gordon....yeah should have seen that one coming ;-)

Lovely, I'm really not getting any imaging done lately due to hazy clouds. I think I have one image from the last couple of lunar cycles.

Very nice image and a great presentation!

Superb image Steve with Mons Piton sitting out like a beacon! Lovely presentation and nice subtle processing - pleasure to view.
