Re: Mars - July 18th & 20th UT

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Robert,

Very! good images, I know what you mean about 74fps and seeing, I have my scope set up now and will be getting up at 4am this morning to try for another Mars image.

Thanks,

Robert,

Excellent! images, good color maybe the seeing was better than you though or maybe it is just the lumenera and fast frame rates ?

Thanks,

Clavius enlargment

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

Just for *fun* I did a 50% enlargement of a Clavius image I took on 11/05/04 I did no other processing to it other than the enlargement, I was surprised at how well the image held up to the enlargement, there appears to be a few crater chains located on the floor of Clavius.

Thanks,

Guericke 07/29/05

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

I'm probably posting to many lunar images but at the time I don't have any good Mars images to post smile , hopefully that will change in a few days.

An interesting note about Guericke is that it was in the first image ever taken of the Moon with an American spacecraft (Ranger 7) you can see that first image and Chuck Wood's write up on it at this LPOD address
