Sunset over Alphonsus

Hi,

Heres a pic taken this am with a Atik webcam, 3X's barlow and my 18" Starmaster. Seeing was 6/10. I really liked the spire in the middle, and how the shadow intersects with the rilles on the floor of Alphonsus. Looks almost sinsister ;>)

hope you like it!

Hello Mike,
Excellent image. You must have been out there about the same time I was. Your image of Alphonsus really shows wonderful detail. Keep up the great work.

Mike,

That image is a little spooky looking, it looks like it needs some dark side Starwars music playing while Darth Vader's ship is landing there
All joking a side that is a very good image with a lot of
detail on the crater floor, thanks for posting it.

Hi Mike,
May I save a copy of your Alphonsus image? I was imaging Alphonsus at the same time and would like to have it if it's O.K. with you.

Mike and Jim -

Fascinating pictures. That central spire looks like Cleopatra's needle from that sun angle. Wonder how tall it is?

thanks for posting,
Alan
