Mono Moon

[ejp1684]

Had a session a couple of days ago (first in ages!) to try out Altair's mono GPCAM with Star Analyser. The Moon was a bit too bright to get the best spectra, plus it was in the back garden with lights from neighbours, street lights, flats opposite, etc. So I turned the scope (8" with 6.3 focal reducer ) on the Moon, and this is the result. I took a 300 frame SER file using SharpCap and put it through Registax.

I skied in the shadow of Mont Blanc a few years ago in Chamonix. Interesting to see Mont Blanc on the moon as well, though I doubt the skiing is any good. Alan Shepherd played golf on the moon, but I don't think anyone tried skiing.
