geppetto Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Got the 8" set up and cooling for the comet. Skies clear so far so fingers crossed.Been looking at the moon for over an hour now, my favourite area is starting toshow up. This area around the Apennines and the Vallis Alpes I find truly stunning to study.The shadows cast by the mountains are awesome, cant get enough of this part of the moon.Took a few images with the Nikon 5400 afocal through a 26mm eyepiece on my 8" F6This is one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
