Predawn Moon (12" Newt)

[GreatAttractor]

Another session with my ATM 12" Newtonian. Too bad the seeing was not as good as last week. Images taken with PGR Chameleon 3 mono (ICX445) and Baader Red 610 nm filter,  at f/15 and scaled down.

 

J. Herschel (165 km) is the approximately hexagonal walled plain crater left of the middle.

 

The three big craters are (from top) Mairan (40 km), Sharp (40 km), Harpalus (39 km):

 

I found this online atlas convenient for looking up the lunar features.

Very nice indeed. Hope to be started on that before the year end.

That's very nice, great details.

Lovely stuff, very well processed. The first one is very atmospheric.

[Mr Spock]

Nice images. I like the look of Herchel - it's well presented and you can see lots of floor detail.

Thanks, everyone!
