Lunar Landscapes

[Roy Foreman]

I don't do a lot of lunar and planetary imaging, but when the moon is about I give DSO's a miss for a while and turn my imaging equipment towards our nearest neighbour. I don't consider myself an expert at this, but in the twilight skies of March 23rd I think I got some reasonable results.

In the image of Plato I count 11 craterlets in it's floor, so I've included a selective enlargement of the crater itself.

Have a look and let me know if you think I'm doing ok at this.

 

Equipment - 16" F/4.5 Reflector,  Baader FFC set to 3x amplification,  ZWO ASI 183MM,  15% of 900 frames,  processed in Auto Stakkert and Photoshop

 

Thanks for looking - C and C's very welcome !

That Path closeup w Mons Pico standing out on the plain wouldn't look out of place as a closeup on the LROC website! 👏🏾
