Hi,

This is my last image from the low moon session of July 15 2006 (did a Paolo and saved the best for last) smile , I was clouded out during the higher moon last August, can't wait to get new images in a few days (hopefully) smile

The image is over the 500k limit so I have posted a link to the image

18" Reflector, Infinity 2-1 camera, 4x Powermate (the image has been down sized about 10%), MAP processing, stack of 230 frames.

Guericke-Fra-Mauro 09-14-06

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Another one from the 09/14/06 session,

The small crater about 2 1/2" above Tolansky (Tolansky is the almost perfect circle crater about the center of the image) with sort of a second rim is very interesting.
The image is very large and again you may need to expand your browser image to see it full Res, see link below.

Pitatus and Hesiodus A

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

Pitatus and Hesiodus A the little concentric rim crater, Gauricus and Wurzelbauer are also in the image on the left side.
I find concentric craters very interesting, at this time to my knowledge no one knows for certain how they are formed.
For image see link below:

Copernicus Hires

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

Copernicus being a relatively young crater has few small craters on the floor and on Hires images I always look for the few small craters and on this image I was lucky enough to catch a few of them, favorable lighting helps too.
See link below, (large file 700k)

Re: Saturn after Sunrise - 10/16 UT

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Robert,

Very detailed early Saturn image I agree with Paolo this is the most detailed image of Saturn I have seen so far this season still a little noisy but for the low altitude not bad at all.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
