Megadome

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

The Gardner Megadome as named by Charles Wood in his book
The Modern Moon, I think there is some question as to this being a real dome or not and I don't think Charles actually states that it is a real dome, it may be a dome only in the topographic sense, maybe this image will help to answer that.
The Gardner Megadome is located in the Taurus Littrow area,
the possible dome or raised area in my image is just left of center.

Saturn 09/26/04

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

My first color image of Saturn this season, the transparency
was poor and I had to turn the gain up more than I like.

One large storm can be seen just below the South Equatorial belt.

Paolo's Gassendi

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Paolo,

That is an excellent!! Gassendi image, would mind going into
some detail on the filters you use "R+ IR" such as the brand names, the order in which you attach the filters
(R then IR or IR then R), the band widths and your reasoning behind using the filters for lunar imaging.
Seeing your images I feel they must be of some help.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
