Aristoteles 06-26-05

Hi,

With the Moon doing the Limbo now (how low can you go) it's been difficult to get any good lunar images lately, at times I had fairly good seeing this morning (06-26-05) and took this image of Aristoteles, more to follow.

18" Starmaster, DMK-21f04 camera, IR pass filter, 30FPS, stack of 684 frames from 1975.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Hello Wes,



Nice picture. You had better luck than I did. Just as the moon rose above a big tree I got one AVI before clouds moved in and ruined the rest of the night.

Robert,

Thanks!,I got the experimental model back in 1975 I use the DMK because my Lumenera is a color model and I prefer to image the moon in B&W (the DMK is B&W) plus the mono DMK uses all the pixels in 640x480 resolution.

Wes, excellent image!!

I know what you mean about the low altitude, I tried some lunar imaging the other day - first time in about a year - however at 27 degrees above the horizon the seeing was rough.

Is the DMK better on lunar shots than the Lumenera btw?
Also, I didn't know they had the DMK available back in 1975.... (just being silly with that last part)

Thats an excellent image. Even more so considering the Moon must have been ~35d high.

Hi Wes,

Thats a great image no matter what the conditions were! I'm still waiting for a good 1st light run with my Lumenera 075M, its been so bloody hot here and humid the mosquitos are nuts this summer!
