AR10661 with big filament - August 23

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Chris,

An excellent image of AR10661 and it's huge filament. The filament extends for some distance away from the sunspot group. I look forward to you future images.

Saturn 8-22-04

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Jim,

An excellent image of Saturn to start the apparition. The Equatorial Zone (EZ) appears to have a yellow-mustard shade to it. I believe The South Equatorial Belt (SEB) is very prominent. I believe that I note a South Temperate Belt below (north) of the pastel green South Polar region (SPR). Please compare your image to the story on Saturn's SPR posted on Astromart ( http://www.astromart.com/news/news.asp?news_id=97 ).

I look forward to your, and other observations and images, of Saturn in the future.

Alexander's diamond ring

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Thomas,

I would venture to say that the "rays" that you observed along the rim of the crater Alexander were probably incident light rays since the crater was located so close to the terminator. I am not familiar with this crater being a site of Transient Lunar Phenomena (TLP).

Rick,

I am not an imager but your images have captured some lunar detail. It is good to experiment as you have in order to obtain the best results. You will probably pick up some good pointers in the imaging forums. The best of luck in future imaging.

Opposite ends of the solar system!!

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Paul,

Thank you for looking both ways. The images are excellent. The solar images show fine detail within the sunspot groups. The image of Neptune does not show much detail, except possible light variations, but this is expected for this distant member of our solar system. Your image of Neptune looks very similar to my observation of the planet made on July 24, 2004 (attached). I look forward to your future images.

Paolo R. Lazzarotti Amazing Lunar Image

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Wes,

I agree with you that the image of the crater Walter obtained by the Italian astro-imager Paolo Lazzarotti is fantastic. It shows a wealth of detail over the floor of the crater as well as surrounding region. His images of the planets are just as spectacular ( http://www.lazzarotti.lunigiana.it/cielo.html ).

Your image of Petavius is impressive as well. It deserves the Image of The Day title. I look forward to more of your images in the future.
