Two views of Walter

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

Lunar crater Walter at different dates and focal lengths the left image was taken on 06/26/05 at an EFL of 9000mm and the right image was taken on 12/03/04 (not posted before) at an EFL of 11700mm (both with an 18" Reflector), I thought the difference in image scale and details might be interesting.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Lunar crater Meton

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

In this image Meton appears to be a collection of filled in craters.

Hi,

A pair not often imaged Agrippa and Godin (Godin is the bottom or South crater), they are located east of Triesnecker.

Mars July 9th 2005

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

I had some fairly good seeing this morning maybe 6/10, it appears as though there is a rift or break developing in the SPC several raw frames show that too.

18" Reflector, 12500mm FL, Lumenera LUO75C camera, 81fps, stack of 642/8200

Re: Baby steps with the LU075 - Mars & Solis Lacus

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Robert,

Excellent! image, it looks like you are getting the LUO75 set up very well.
You state the seeing was rough and I suspect the large amount of frames captured at 74fps helped in getting such a good image.

Thanks,

Re: Mars reaches 10

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Damian,

Outstanding! images , so much detail it looks like it should be 15 arc second instead of 10, how long was your capture time for these images.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Re: Some more Mars images

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Damain,

Excellent detail, it looks like the 14 inch is working well for Mars.

Thanks,

Unpopular Craters

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

Unpopular craters the ones that always get chosen last for anything or no one to dance with at the prom, what's a crater got to do to get some respect smile
Rhaeticus(just left of center) fits that description pretty well a very ragged looking crater 45km in diameter located south east of Rimae Triesnecker, part of Rimae Triesnecker is in the top center of the image.

06/26/05, altitude 37 degrees, 18" Reflector, 9000mm FL, DMK-21F04 camera, 30fps, IR pass filter, stack of 1000 frames from 2100.

Thanks,

Posidonius

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

Unlike my last posted crater image "Rhaeticus" Posidonius has been imaged many times smile


06/26/05, altitude 37 degrees, 18" Reflector, 9000mm FL, DMK-21F04 camera, 30fps, IR pass filter, stack of 763 frames from 2500, the low altitude would not allow a longer focal length.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
