Gassendi June 7th 2006

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

This is another image that I had to put a lot of processing time into because the altitude was only 35 degrees, I sure miss the Moon at 65 degrees smile

18" Reflector, 4x Powermate, Infinity 2-1M camera, MAP processing, stack of 150 frames.

Thanks,

East side of in shadow Plato

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

This is an image that I forgot to process from about two years ago smile it is similar to one I have already posted except it shows much more of the East side and I used MAP processing this time.
This low sun image shows the elevation of Plato above the plains and the great amount of for lack of a better word rubble around the base, in high sun images and lower resolution images this interesting part of Plato dose not show up as well.

18" Reflector, DMK-21F04 camera, 30fps, stack of 178 frames.

Thanks,

Krieger plus many Rilles

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

This is another 35 degree altitude lunar image taken on June 7 2006, Krieger crater about center and Prinz Rilles at bottom, MAP processing also know as SAO processing smile
If the Moon had been about 65 degrees I would have probably said the seeing was 7/10
but as it was it's 4/10

Thanks,

Delisle & Diophantus

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

Delisle & Diophantus imaged June 7th 2006 , my last few images have not been the quality that I like to post but sometimes you have to go with what the lunar altitude and seeing gives you smile

Delisle is the larger crater in the upper half and Diophantus is the larger crater in the lower half, if you look closely you can just make out the very zig zag Rima Diophantus between Delisle & Diophantus.

Two Thirds of the Triade

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

Ptolemaeus and Alphonsus 2/3 of the Lunar Triade, I also have Arzachel and I will add as a mosaic when I have time.
Seeing was 6/10 at best and the two craters don't show as many small craters as they should

Hi Eric,

Very! detailed image with good color amazing for only 35 degrees altitude and the smaller size of Jupiter now, it's great to see your images again.

Thanks,
