Hi all,

This image is also from the 16th. I also used two alignment points on this image. My Maurolycus image appears better than this one even though they were imaged one after another.

Meade LX90 8" SCT @ f.24.5
Phillips ToUcam Pro 840
Edmund Optics R+IR band filter
Seeing 4-6/10
Frames = 250/1056 @ 5fps
Image taken at 2:12 UT on April 17, 2005
Resized 110%

Thanks,

Ed Roach

Ed,

A very nice image!! I really think the red filter makes a huge difference in lunar imaging, at least it has for me and your images really show well too.
