Sunset on Petavius.

Hello Friends,
After having to stay up for a dinner party I got in bed about 11:00. Alarm went off at 2:00 AM. Wish the seeing had been better but after getting dressed and opening up the observatory I had to give it a try.

Hi Jim,

Very dramatic shot, very well done and certainly worth getting up for
of course it's easy for me to say that... I was sleeping last night 8)

Thanks,

Jim -

Dark and mysterious - I like it!

Hi Jim,

Very nice image. I was also going to try to image the Moon and that crater in particular last night, but decided to go for Jupiter instead.
I also have to brush up on the names of the craters, because I had no idea of the names of most of the ones I was looking at. :S

Clear skies,

Ed Roach
