Moon from the 12th - first in a long time....

[daz]

Its been so long since I did a lunar image, I'd forgotten how to set up the camera properly!!

Taken with an ED80 and 742nm IR filter thru a DMK21AF04

Showing:

The streaks are part of Tycho's ejecta and finish at the crater Bullialdus

Below and to the right is Mare Humorum

On the left is Oceanus Procellarum with the craters Kepler (with the ejecta), Reiner just below and left, and Hermann just below that and to the right.

And if my orientation is correct, Schickard is the plain on the bottom right

Very nice image Daz and a nice explanation of what we were looking at.

Santa may well be bringing me a DMK camera for Christmas:) so I'm looking forward to doing a few lunar images myself

Cheers Jon

Yep that's Schickard, and I see bright Aristarchus too.

...I'd forgotten how to set up the camera properly!!

Thats right Daz always keep notes.

Got me out a pickle a few times.

Nice moon shot as well, lots of detail.

[daz]

Well, I now have a dedicated PC (which will live the obsy eventually) so I can now record observations and settings on the lappy while the camera clicks away on the PC.

That and another resolution to keep a log .....

And to everyone else for their comments. Although having seen Nick's recent posting, think I'll go back to the drawing board!!!!
