Guericke 07/29/05

Hi,

I'm probably posting to many lunar images but at the time I don't have any good Mars images to post , hopefully that will change in a few days.

An interesting note about Guericke is that it was in the first image ever taken of the Moon with an American spacecraft (Ranger 7) you can see that first image and Chuck Wood's write up on it at this LPOD address

Hi Wes -

A wonderful image and interesting to compare to the first image from space - thanks for including the link.

I never get tired of seeing the moon from OK.

Hello Wes,


I started counting the craterlets but gave up. Your shot shows so many of them. Nice shot, and thanks for posting the link to the Ranger 7 image.

Here is a larger Ranger 7 image of this crater.

Your image shows so much more detail.

There is no such thing as too many lunar images! Keep 'em coming!

Thanks for sharing,

Hi Wes,

You can never post too many lunar images and this one is another example of that, superb!

Clear skies,

Hi Wes,

Thats a magnificent lunar image Wes!! Personally I think the moon is still more interesting to image than Mars (that is until it gets much bigger).

keep em comin

hopefully I'll get some good images from the Lum 075M soon, moons getting better placed!

Hey what do you think of the Infinity series from Lumenera? The 2.2 infinity looks really good to me, small pixel size, awesome sensitivity and still a high framerate if you do a ROI! I think they are around $2000.

cheers
