Inside Tycho

OK, I'll post this anyway.... Seeing was below average (again, damn jetstream!) but I imaged the moon with the Infinity 2-2 and my 18" Starmaster. With the 5X's barlow this works out to a crazy image scale of 0.09"/pixel!! 8O
Probably too much for the seeing but heres a stack of 200 in Reg 3. It would have been jaw dropping if the seeing was good! Ah well one of these days!

cheers

Hi Mike,

Wow! what an image scale, if your seeing had been good this would have easily been the best Tycho image ever taken from Earth and even with the seeing you had the image is still very! impressive.
This Tycho image is larger than most Clavius images posted here 8O

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Still an awesome shot. That will make you come back for more.

Mike - That is pretty spectacular as is! I had imaged Tycho at a similar sun angle last lunation but never finished working on it. Think I'll let it sit a while longer!!

Lovely work -
Alan

Great image Mike! Cameras with small pixel size are probably
the best cameras around for Lunar work.

Hello Mike,


That is an awesome one. Can't wait to see it in better seeing.

A great image, but I can imagine what it would look like if the conditions were right. Your image gave me inspiration to try Tycho at a longer focal length than I usually take my lunar images at(7000mm).
Not comparable to your fine image and too much for the conditions, but not bad for me.
