Sunset on the Valentine Dome

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi Jim,

Very! detailed dome image, the outcrops or little mountains on top of the dome are interesting too.
The seeing here in Oklahoma generally gets better just before the sun start to rise.

Thanks,

Sunset over Alphonsus

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Mike,

That image is a little spooky looking, it looks like it needs some dark side Starwars music playing while Darth Vader's ship is landing there smile
All joking a side that is a very good image with a lot of
detail on the crater floor, thanks for posting it.

Jim,

Very detailed and interesting image, I've never had the privilege of observing through an 8" APO refractor it must be awesome visually.

Thanks,

Congratulations Mike,

As Jim Phillips said "Magnificent image of Mare Tranquilitatus, domes, scarp. Beautiful job Mike. Exquisite image" ... and I agree completely.

Thanks,

Paul,


Very! detailed sun spot images, the sun just keeps on putting on a good show even though the current cycle is closing.

A Low Power evening

Jim

As you well know they can't all be gems (with all the excellent images you post I was beginning to think you could not take an average image smile ) and as Rolando said it's all in how much fun you have although it is more fun when the seeing is good

Thanks,

Saturn 8-22-04

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Jim,

Considering the conditions a very nice Saturn,I would say it is better (and in color) than the one I posted about a week ago.
About another five weeks and Saturn will be a very good early morning object, I'm anxious to get some images and to see all the images that are posted.

Thanks,
