Hi,

While waiting for the clouds to go away I processed a few more lunar images from July 29 2005, this one is Capuanus, Dimension: 61x61Km / 36x36M

18" Reflector, FL=9000mm, IR pass filter,DMK-21F04 camera, 30fps, stack of 640/1995

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Wow Wes - that is a glorious image. The texture of the surface seems to show thousands of small features that look like grains of sand.

I got up early today to image mars but was captivated by the moon. Before I knew it I had used up almost all of my available 10 gigabytes - barely had enough left for a set of RGBs of mars. I can see how compelling a target the moon is - every push of the NSEW buttons presents a completely new image.

And this one is spectacular.

best,
Alan

Hi Robert,

Thanks!, yep I'm eager to use the new camera, maybe tonight.
I have done some day lite avi's and it looks promising, I really like the large image format.

Thanks,
