Lunar Craters from 23rd Jan

[Rob63]

First time out this year as the weather in Edinburgh has been so bad.

The Seeing was great but the moon was as 77% so Deep sky wasn't an option (apart from some Ha later on) so I decided to try some Lunar imaging for the first time in ages.

These are all taken with my Sky watcher 120MM ED DS Pro with a Teleview 3X Barlow (f22.5) and an ASI290MM (usb3 version).

Stacking in AS3! (1000 frames per capture stacked to 12%), Processing in Photoshop including Topaz DeNoise AI.

 

Copernicus (4 panel mosaic)

Montes Apenninus and Eratosthenes

Archimedes, Aristillus, Autolycus and Cassini

Aristoteles and Eudoxus

Those are gorgeous. It really is like flying over them.  The Montes Appeninus in particular.

Excellent amount of details! The shadows are really coming through!

Excellent work!

Thanks for the kind words, I really need to do more Lunar imaging as I found it so rewarding.

DSO just seem to be an endless source of frustration at the moment.
