Hi ,

Here is a Moon crater that is not imaged as often as the more popular ones, the rilles around the crater perimeter are interesting.

14.5 Starmaster @F/30, DMK-21F04 Firewire Monochrome camera, 30FPS,1/1024 Shutter, 30% Gain, Stack of 1439 frames.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Andy,

Thanks

My Starmaster Dob has Alt/Az tracking, it tracks well enough for lunar and planetary imaging.

That is a very nice image, Wes. I agree that it is a very interesting crater - it almost looks "cracked".

How are you tracking w/ your starmaster? Do you have an EQ platform?
