Re: Jupiter at 38 degrees from June

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Robert,

I remember your excellent Jupiter images from last spring-summer and this is certainly one of them, I guess it's pretty bad when we look back fondly at Jupiter being a whopping 38 degrees in altitude smile

Clear and steady skies,

Clavius large

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

The seeing had deteriorated some by the time I decided to image Clavius on the morning of 09/14/06 and this image is not quite as detailed as some of the earlier images I posted from that morning.

The image is very large and you may need to expand your browser window to see the full size image, see link below

Thanks,

I'm having back surgery tomorrow morning (11/08/06) so after today I might not be available to answer any questions about the image for a day or two, the good news is I'm having the surgery much sooner than I thought and I might find time to go to the Winter Star Party after all.

Clear and steady skies,

Some mountains and a few good rilles

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

Rima Bradley, Hadley and Conon with Ina Caldera (L99) (left edge of image and a little below mid point) thrown in for good measure smile
The tops of Mons Bradley and the other mountain chains caught the sun light and caused the over exposure, with this area at the time being so close to the terminator
I should have taken two different exposures and combined the images.
See link below, the image is very large and you may need to expand your browser window to see it full size also North is to the right in the image.

High Res. Alphonsus-Arzachel-Ptolemaeus-Mosaic

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

This is a mosaic of two images I took on 09-14-06 and I just now put them together, the floor of Ptolemaeus has really been bombarded.
This is a very big file (1.6Meg) and a very large size image so unless you have a very large monitor you may need to expand your browser window and then scroll around to see all of the image.

Here in Oklahoma we are in the middle of a tremendous ice storm (maybe up to two inches of ice) so in case anyone has any questions I'm not sure how long we might have power here sad

Thanks,

Last lunar images from 09/14/06

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

These are the last images I have from September 14, 2006, rather than string them out over a few weeks I though it would be best to show all three images in one post, hopefully I will have some new ones in a short time.

18" Reflector, Infinity 2-1 camera.

Bond and friends

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

This is the first new Lunar image in about eight months for me (way to long)a myriad of things have kept me from imaging but hopefully I can keep at it now.

The image is larger than the limits for this forum so I have placed a link, the image is about 900k
