Gassendi

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez

Thank you all for the very kind compliments on my observation of Gassendi. The difficulty was in recording all the complex detail accurately. I noted other delicate features over the crater that either were too daunting to record or time did not permit me. I am very happy with my final result as it records what I observed on this night.

To be honest this is the first lunar observation I have made in some time. I will certainly make more observations of interesting features in the future and post them.

Nice image of Gassendi Thomas!

The best of luck to you all in your own observations and images.

Thomas,

I too observed the eclipse and it was beautiful. Your image does give the impression of Mars with a bright polar cap. Thank you for sharing it with us all.

Saturn with ST10XE

Roland,

I believe that you accidentally posted a Cassini image instead of your own? That is a fantastic image of the ringed planet. That is a great planetary imaging instrument!

Thank you for posting your excellent images of Gauss and Petavius. Detail is noted over both images. The rille system is very interesting over the floor of Petavius.

Beautiful panorama of Kitt Peak. The view is spectacular as you point out. Your Solar prominence image was excellent as well.
