Saturn 09/26/04

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Wes,

An outstanding image of Saturn to begin the apparition with. The white oval over the South Temperate Zone (STZ) is very interesting. The South Equatorial Belt (SEB) looks thinner than the previous apparition. A South Temperate Belt (STB) is now visible. A pastel green South Polar Region (SPR) collar is noted. The dusky haze across the planet (inside the B ring) is the Crepe (or C) ring.

I look forward to your, and other imagers, images in the future.

Kirk,

A fantastic image of the crater Blancanus over the southern hemisphere of the Moon. The image shows a wealth of detail. I look forward to your future images.

Paul,

Nice images of the sunspot groups AR 673 and 674. The faculae are very delicately noted surrounding the groups. I look forward to your future images.

Kirk,

An outstanding image of the crater Clavius. It gives the impression of flying over it. Please keep up the excellent work.

Lunar crater Beaumont

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Wes,

An excellent image of this small, but interesting crater. The rilles over it's floor with "holes" is intriguing. They may have been formed from pockets of gas released as the molten lave cooled off long ago? I look forward to your future images.

Saturn, Venus and the Sun with an Orion ED100.

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Paul,

The images that you have posted on Saturn, the Sun and Venus are excellent. Outstanding examples using a 4-inch aperture. Quality imaging can be accomplished with such an instrument. I hope that the problem with the 9.25" can be corrected. The best of luck.

Alan,

A great image of Io and it's shadow. Much detail is recorded in this image. I look forward to your future images.

Jim Phillip's image is excellent as well.

Lunar craters Grove and Williams

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Wes,

Thank you for your latest high-resolution image of the Moon. The craters Grove and Williams are very interesting. All the wonderful images of the Moon are a very educational tour of the lunar surface.

Uranus - Oct 10

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Chris,

An excellent image of Uranus showing the planet as it normally appears, with little if any detail present. Some images of the planet that have been posted lately by other imagers appear to show some detail at the limit of visibility. That is what makes this planet such a difficult target for imagers and observers. I have not been able to observe the planet lately due to my schedule and weather. I look forward to your future images.

Saturn Oct 10

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Chris,

An excellent image of Saturn. You have captured several belts and zones as well as variations in the rings (brightness). I am not certain, but I believe that I note a small, bright oval on the southern border of the South Equatorial Belt (SEB) on the CM in your image. We will have to monitor this longitude in the future.
