Hi,

Well actually I wish it was Mars but the weather here has not been cooperating smile

Cassini with Theaetetus in the lower left corner.
18" Reflector, Infinity 2-1 camera, IR pass filter, 28fps, stack of 685 frames.


Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Hello Wes,



Very nice image. I can share your Mars frustration. We have had really nice weather here in Florida where I live, but unfortunately I was out in California on an extended business trip. Time is slipping away.

Thank God something different from Mars grin

These oppositions can become quite tedious indeed.
However, a magnificent lunar picture Wes: smooth yet detailed, in your unmistakable style.

My Infinity is on its way to Daddy Luca grin and this time it is a monochromatic, so a whole new world for me.

Ciao Wes

Hi Wes -

A wonderful image. I was expecting saturn's Cassini - too many targets and not enough names!
I hope conditions improve for you. I know I am getting way too much sleep these days.

best,
Alan

Hi Wes,

sorry to hear that weather forbids mars imaging for you but it's very nice to see one of your lunar-gems inbetween all the fine mars images. I can't recall to have seen Cassini imaged this big and this good before. The fine craterlets and secondaries around the crater are fascinating grin

Clear skies!
