Better late than never

[Talitha]

Here are seven single shot images taken on two consecutive nights when the seeing was better than average (I sure wish that happened more often).

The scope was an f/10 8" LX-10 SCT, and the camera was a 4 megapixel Nikon CoolPix 4300 at full (3x) optical zoom, attached to a 10mm ep via a ScopeTronix Digi-T adapter.

3 pics from 13 April 2008:

And now 4 pics from 14 April 2008.

Thanks for looking!

Lovely snaps Carol 8) Nice deep shadow at RR - and you caught the ridges at Aestruum (wrinkles in the pillows? ) really well.

Cheers

Nice one Carol, particularly fond of the Rupes Recta and Copernicus.

Great shots Carol you have done a bit of this before, And it shows very well done and thanks for sharing them .

[Talitha]

Thank you, I wish the seeing were as kind to me as all of you are!

99.8% of my time is spent observing, and my lunar images are basically used as a learning/teaching aid. But it's fun to be able to share a decent image once in a while.

[Sam]

[Talitha]

Thanks everyone! Btw, it's about 1:30 am here, and while most of you are starting your Wednesday, I'm inside warming up and waiting for M5 to climb out of the trees.

Here's what I look like. --> :pirate: (It's kinda hard typing in the dark with one eye.. hope I hit the right keys. )

Great images Carol, I like them all but especially the Rupes Recta shot - so much to look at in that area.

Thanks for sharing,

Thanks!

[The Warthog]

Very cool, Carol! I especially like that last Copernicus in your second post. That would be a great time to sketch it.

[Talitha]

Thanks WH!

Yep, sunrise is a good time to sketch it.

(Let us know how it goes, ok?) :mrgreen:

Actually, I made one about three years ago but it was difficult because of all the fine details. Maybe it's time to try again, though.

Just seen these images Carol, and splendid they are too.

I particularly like the Straight Wall shot, such a black shadow thrown down off that one. You grabbed some wonderful detail in the rest of them also. The devastation around Copernicus sends a shudder through me, it must have been one mighty impact.

Love that Rupus Recta Carol. So much shadow I didn't recognise it at first

[Talitha]

Thanks! Wouldn't it be great to go back in time and actually watch the impacts? From a safe distance, of course.

[zhgutas]

Really like the last photo of both nights! very prominent craters! All the others are nice as well, of course
