A great night on the Moon - 23rd January 2021

[Eris]

The conditions on this evening were good and allowed me to put the C11 and ASI270mm through their paces.  The series of images below I believe are my highest resolution images of these features so far and I am really pleased with how the scope and the ASI camera are performing.   The original scale images do really show a great deal of detail that is lost somewhat in the compressed JPG images shown here. All of the images here are the result of multiple images stitched using the MS ICE panoramic application.

 

Details for each image as follows,  All images taken with Celestron C11 with ASI290mm camera, 2.5x Powermate and Baader IR pass (685nm) filter.

CLAVIUS - x4 images 

MONTES ALPES and PLATO - x16 images

MONTES ALPES and VALLIS ALPES - x6 images

MONS HADLEY DELTA and HADLEY RILLE - x2 images

COPERNICUS - x 5 images

 

 

 

Clear skies all.

Very very nice images! Msice is such a great piece of software. Is it the ASI 290 you used?

Impressive detail! A bit more resolution and If we zoom down we'll see the tracks of the Apollo 15 expedition

Hi CraigT82.

Yes this is the ASI 290mm (and not 270) which was a typo which I have corrected above.  Thanks for noticing and thanks for the comments.
