Archimedes & Alpine Valley

[Brinders]

Another from March 4th. This time Archimedes and the Alpine Valley using a Celestron Neximage attached to the prime focus of a Celestron 9.25 SCT on an EQ6 Pro mount. Image captured using K3CCD tools and processed in Registax 5 and Paintshop Pro X.

Hi there, nice image but a bit on the soft side - was seeing bad?

It's Aristoteles not Archimedes, Archimedes is the crater inside Imbrium which looks like a flaming comet.

Hi, sorry thought I had identiifed it correctly form Virtual Moon Atlas so I stand corrected. Yes, seeing wasn't as good as it might have been; this was the best I could manage from the best of the AVI's stacked in Registax. Problem may also been made worse because the moon was over the roof of my house, so no doubt affected by rising warm air.
