1st Quarter Moon

Very nice! So what is your new refractor? I see no hint of CA in your image. The DSLR handles the high dynamic range well. When you said the little ones were bugging you, I first thought you were talking about mosquitoes... 8)

Visually Challenging Lunar Targets

Interesting thread, Keith. Plato's craterletts are always a draw for me, and I've glimpsed the Rille in the Alpine Valley exactly once. This is one of those areas in observational astronomy that benefits from having a working list of things to try for. Of course it would also benefit from good seeing, something rare in my locale. Thanks for the post, and for the list!

Nice! Now that Jupiter is getting up high enough, I need some good seeing to go with it.

Sighting in pre-dawn Oklahoma sky 8/30/12

Posted By Steve Mathis

Yep, I saw it! Out walking the dog, saw it shortly after leaving home. By the time we got back, it had faded a lot. Got a quick shot of it. I believe it was a satellite fuel dump, I suppose from a geosynchronous satellite. It pays to look up!
