Maurolycus, Aristoteles and Eudoxus (15/04/24)

[Kon]

Another go on imaging craters despite the awful seeing. I opted for an IR pass filter 685 tonight. Maurolycus is showing some details although I could not resolve the small craterlets inside. Aristoteles and Eudoxus had better seeing and I framed them to capture the mountain shadows on the left. 12" FlexTube, GoTo, asi462mm, IR pass, 2.5x TV powermate.

Very nice Kon, I've just come back in doors after a disappointing session, windows 11 decided to update and configure plus I was unable able to get good image runs without continual buffering.. Maurolycus gives me a smile under this illumination, such a happy looking crater 🙂.. your seeing looks to have been better than mine.

Thanks Mark. I will never unsee the smilly crater now 😂. 

Yes I hate when updates decide to happen during imaging. I hope the weather improves so we can get some high resolution images.

Nice images Kostas. I found that nailing sharp focus can be difficult under poor seeing conditions although you have done a good job here. I hope to be back out there the next time clear skies come around.

Thanks Ian. The seeing was just awful. with the overhead jetstream. I have been imaging tonight and it is a bit better. I will post the images later. Looking forward to your captures.
