A few craters along the terminator from Tuesday 14th

[Pete Presland]

Due to the dismal seeing conditions, I left Jupiter and grabbed a few frames of the moon before going to work.

A 2 pane mosaic of Hercules + G & E and Atlas.

Gutenberg                                                                                                                                Messier & Messier A, love the rays streaking across the surface

Probably my favourite Gaudibert, Gaudibert A, & Pyroclastic B, really stood out as an interesting feature that morning.

Fascinating closeups..  Would you mind sharing how you took these?  (there is a lot of gear in your signature...)

And what is a roll-off roof observatory?  (we are thinking of a loft conversion one day....)

They were videos taken with the Celestron C9.25, ASI120mm camera with an I/R cut filter.

The video (SER file) was stacked using Autostakkert2.

It just means the roof is on wheels and can roll open when required. There is a thread on here about its construction.

A lovely collection images Pete. Interesting that you say the Gutenberg/Pyroclastic complex stood out well that morning - that is the great attraction of the moon - an ever changing landscape with highlights varying depending on the illumination. Excellent.

Nice images, my favorite is the Herc mosaic, but they are all awesome!
