Hi all,

In Europe we have strange weather last month and we are glad if we see the bleu sky.
So even on the night on the 25 januari, just afther sunset.
Not the best seeing but I was able the do something .....afther a weather break.
Wild traffic(down-town city) give me sometime a headache.
So I have made this image, Mare Frigoris

Kindly regards Richard Bosman

Nice one Richard, you have caught the Gartner Rille well and also the trickier Sheepshanks Rille is visible here too. Blue sky is also at a premium here in the UK so I sympathize, some clear nights would be nice too, so far nothing this lunation!

Regards,

Hi Richard -

Very unusual shot - I like it!
It looks familiar. My backyard has been a mare frigoris for months now.
Here's to a better month of February...

Hi Richard,

Superb image, the seeing just after sunset can be good here at times too, the problem is I can not get my 18" primary cooled quick enough to take advantage of the seeing then sad

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
