APRIL 17TH - THEOPHILUS TRIO & RUPES ALTAI

[paulastro]

I had a fabulous session last night, with Theophilus, Cyrilus and Catherina sitting snugly against the terminator.  Also, the peaks of the mountains of Rupes Altai were catching the morning sunlight, reaching southwards and starting just to the W of Catherina.  Excellent views with the Tecnosky 102ED F7 for the first half hour or so before the seeing deteriorated.

Single frame and crops below taken with the Olympus at 8.50pm, 1/80 sec at 200 asa.

The Serpentone Ridge and Posidonius were also well placed.

I was there too! Your pics are much better than mine, but at the eyepiece the views are pretty much the same.

Actually, we have the same camera as you at work, for the odd time a huge field of view is needed. Might see if I can borrow it.

If you do borrow the camera, you can magnify the rear screen up to ×14 on live view, which is really good for focusing 🙂.
