Hires Rupes Recta "Straight Wall"

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

Note the short rille or fault running into the north end of the wall and the many small craters that have a dome appearance in this low sun angle image.

Jupiter & Io May 10 2005

Hi,

Slightly soft and not a great amount of detail but that is all the seeing would support.

Fly over Lunar image

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

Between vacation and lousy weather here in Oklahoma I have not had many images to post lately , here is an image taken a few months ago that has the fly over look.
It is of the Southern Lunar highlands area, I forgot exactly where on the moon I was imaging at and have been trying to locate and name some of the craters with no luck maybe some of you can name them.

Re: A Blue Jupiter

Hi Damian,

That is a spectacular! image, the amazing amount of detail in the BA oval was the first thing I noticed about the image, I and many others have been waiting to see your Jupiter images from Barbados and this was well worth the wait, please post more images smile

Thanks,

Alphonsus

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

With the Moon being so low in altitude and so many cloudy nights recently I don't have any new images to post (I should in a few weeks though) so I am going through some images I had previously decided not to post because of some things I was not satisfied with in the images and will be posting some of them in the coming days.
The first one is Alphonsus the problem I had with this image is the area surrounding the crater is not as well defined as I like to have due to image morphing and alignment problems, this image would have been a good candidate for multiple alignment processing but I don't have time for that right now.

Apollo 14 landing site mosaic

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

The bottom part of this image I have posted before and I recently added the top part to make a mosaic, the bottom or South part of the image has the Apollo 14 landing site located with the red lines and the North edge of Fra-Mauro is just visible, the crater Gambart is located in the top or North part of the image, you will probably need to scroll down to see all the image.

Starmaster 18" Newt.,9000mm FL, DMK-21F04 camera, 30FPS, stack of 1000 frames for each image.

Jupiter May 30 2005

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

Not my best Jupiter but I guess still worth sharing, the transparency was bad and I had to throttle down to 30FPS instead of 60FPS smile with the 18" and Lumenera color camera, the seeing was maybe 5/10 and I could only get about 225 half way good frames so the image is a bit noisy.

Stack of 225 frames from 2700.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
