Gilles in Antarctica

Gilles made it back safe and sound. He is in France now. When he gets a chance, he will post some photos of his trip down under.

Some images taken during almost full Moon

Posted By Roland Christen

The Moon was actually very pretty as it rose into the sky, so I thought I would snap a few images.
The seeing was quite bad, both for both M37 and the Moon, but since it was close to full, there really is not much detail to be seen anyhow. So this is my rendition of the Moon showing all the cool large scale detail and the tiny curlecues that are made by the shadowless crater walls.

This image is a single 0.1 sec exposure with STL11K and H-a filter at 1/3 resolution.

Here is a crop of the central part. Note the bright star forming areas at the edges of the galaxy.
