MARCH 22ND - SUNRISE OVER COPERNICUS

[paulastro]

I had an unexpected clear patch from 6.45pm to 7.30pm when cloud started to thicken.  Views were between cloud so the seeing was a little turbulent, but delighted to have three days on the bounce.  The S Highlands were spectacular as usual, but the highlight was the sun rising over Copernicus.

Using the Tecnosky 102ED F7, took a few single frames with the Olympus including the one below taken at 7.05pm.  Crops from the same frame.  As usual, better visually.

Nice photos. One of my favourite lunar features are the terraces on the trailing edge of the Copernicus crater wall when they are just lit up by the rising sun while the rest of the crater interior is still a black hole.

Lovely images Paul. It did look spectacular last night.
