Tranquility Base-- the Eagle has landed!

Hi all,

Lots of great lunar images in the forum of late, nice to see! I got some 5-7/10 seeing 2 nights ago around 4 in the am, wonderful to have some elevation for the moon!
Anyhow heres Mare Tranquilliatis with lots of interesting features, the Lamont flooded crater, the Arago domes, and some wonderful rilles (Sosigenes). I also marked on the craters named after the Apollo 11 crew and the Eagle landing site!

stack of 354/720, 22 point MAP, PS CS for the processing. Infinity 2-2, R/IR filter, 2.5X's barlow and my 18" Starmaster.

cheers

Hi Mike,

Hi Mike,

WOW! what an image, the ridges in the middle look like six major roads meeting in a clover leaf, amazing detail.
I was out imaging this morning (09/14/06) and for about 25 minutes I had the best seeing I have had in about two years I hope to have one to post tomorrow, again Mike that is a fantastic image.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Mike,

Wonderful!! I was just reading an old S&T article about this region. I was wondering how visible the three craters named for the astronauts were. Your image sure answered that question. Beautiful!!
