Hello,

Here are some images from the 13th.  Yet to process any data from before or after that.  What a cracking period of seeing.

Cheers,

Vin

Great images Vin, I am particularly impressed with thew 3rd one, it has everything!

Thanks @MoonNut that's v kind.  I like how the Rimae Hippalus come out in that one, as well as the contours in the Mare Humorum basin itself.  Must admit that in the second one I like how the mountains (or is it crater rims?) along the limb are silhouetted bumpily against the blackness of space.

It was a treat for us in the UK wasnt it. Some lovely shots you got there.  Nice work.

Thanks @neil phillips yes the conditions have been v kind haven't they.  A lovely start to 2022.  My AP rig is out of action (needing a replacement belt) so this last week I've gone back to visual (& some lucky imaging ) w an old go-to alt-az (lunar, solar, double stars) & its been such fun.  So easy to overlook the joys of visual.  Last night sitting under the Wolf Moon doing an Auriga double-star trail was other-worldly.
