CraigT82 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 A very interesting crater found to the north of Sinus Iridum. 154km across and very old and eroded with several smaller and newer impact craters littering the rough crater floor. Bottom right is Montes Recti, and unusually short and straight mountain range. 8.75" Fullerscope at ~f22 (APM x2.7 barlow). Altair GPCAM3 290m and baader red filter. 500/5000 frames. Found it quite difficult to focus this one (as I always do when imaging in the foreshortened zones) 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulastro Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Thanks for posting Craig. It's a cracking picture and also one of my favourite craters, J.Herschel is one of my astronomy heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
