Rima Hyginus x2

Hi,

Here are two images of Rima Hyginus (both not posted here before) one was taken on
12/03/04 under good seeing conditions with a 5x Barlow and the other on 01/17/05
under fair seeing with a 4x Barlow.
Both images are stacks of 1000 frames and taken with an 18" Starmaster and a DMK-21F04 Camera, it is interesting to compare the better seeing conditions of the
12/03/04 image to the 01/17/05 image.

As an interesting side note Paolo and I were out imaging the moon on the same night (Jan. 17 2005) and we imaged some of the same craters and Rima Hyginus was one of them.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Hi Wes,

The Dec shot certainly has the edge. Very impressive image of that feature.

Oh Wow! I guess I like the Dec 3 image a little better but it is very close. Wes, the detail is just unbelievable! 8O I continue to be amazed at the detail and the quality of your images. I AM beginning to think that perhaps you do indeed have your own personal Flying Saucer and you are imaging from in orbit!!

All the Best,

Jim Phillips

Excellent shots Wes!
Amazing detail!


Clear skies!

Hello Wes,


Those are great images.

Wes,

Very impressive images of Rima Hyginus. I note detail along the floor of the cleft. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Wes,

I'm still amazed at the details you can get, even when your seeing is only fair. They are both great images.

Clear skies,

Both images are gorgeous Wes! Interesting comparison of image scale and varying seeing conditions! Just out of curiosity what software are you using to annotate, and frame your images, I like that look, Paolo does that too with a nice overall effect!

cheers
