Theophills & Cyrillus Mosaic

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi,

This a mosaic of Theophills & Cyrillus, part of the right side is off some due to field rotation, next time I will plan on doing a mosaic and take the images with less time between.

Janssen and area Digital camera image

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi,

I was going through some images I took over two years ago and found this image taken with an Olympus E-100RS digital camera I had at the time ,it was a two mega pixel camera that could shoot at 15FPS (I wish I still had that camera).
The image is one frame taken with the Olympus E-100RS and an 18" Starmaster I had at the time too.
The image may not be as good as some of the web cam images taken now days but the wide field is nice.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Clavius and area digital camera image

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi,

It's been cloudy here for so long that I have been going through some images I took about two years ago with an Olympus E-100RS digital camera and an 18" Starmaster I had at the time, this is an image (one single frame) that I had not processed until now.
The Olympus E-100RS is a two mega pixel digital camera that can shoot at 15FPS with a much wider field of view than a webcam.

Thanks,

Hires Clavius

Hi,

18" Starmaster, DMK-21F04 Firewire camera,30FPS,
850 frames from 2000
The low Sun angle decreases the resolution on the crater walls but helps to enhance the resolution on
the crater floor

Thanks,
