Montes Alpes and Vallis Alpes 10.Apr.22

[Peter_D]

Hi

Conditions were initially pretty good so I wanted to see if I could squeeze anymore detail using a 3x Barlow with my Zwo asi224mc. Unfortunately, it produced quite a bit of flaring in some areas which caused these videos to have strange artifacts. In this image of the Montes Alpes and Vallis Alpes there was luckily no corruption of the image but quite a bit of vignetting I think. 

You can see the centre rille in the valley and crater pits. Another interesting rille is the meandering one in the Montes Alpes that is featured here:

Equipment: Meade 8 inch SCT, Zwo asi224mc, Omegon 3x Barlow, Zwo UV-IR Cut filter.
10000 images captured, best 20% used. Image resized to 75% of original.

Clear skies
