Plato Observation (November 22, 2004)Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez |
I would like to thank everyone for their wonderful compliments on my observation of the crater Plato. I was impressed, and nearly overwhelmed, by the amount of detail visible over the crater, especially during moments of very steady seeing. I can honestly state that I was unable to render all that was visible, mostly due to time and the position of the Moon in the sky (starting to go behind my house). I hope to make many more observations of interesting features on the Moon in the future.
The maker of my outstanding 9-inch F/13.5 Maksutov-Cassegrain is Michael Palermiti of Jupiter, Florida. Mike is a renowned imager and optician. He may be contacted at ITE Astronomy ( http://www.iteastronomy.com/ ) which is a proud sponsor of Astromart.
The best of luck in your own observations of the Moon and planets.
Regards,
Carlos
