I like it very much - the tones express the true darkness of the lunar surface very nicely -

Horsehead and Flame in Ha

I can't stop looking at this image - it is spectacular and I especially like seeing it in black and white. The dark nebula is so clearly a foreground object.

Makes me want to try some deep sky pictures!

Hi Wes -

Handsome image of a challenging target!

I shot a lot of video last month of the region surrounding Plato - I'm looking forward to big mosaic project when mars is done and our skies close down for the winter.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. grin

Mars under excellent seeing

Posted By Alan Friedman
Bravo, Ed! - and mazel tov on the fine conditions.

I was out this morning too but don't think I have the makings of an image this good. It was a beautiful morning, though.

I was surprised how full and large the disk has become and how much smaller the SPC has gotten over ten stormy 10 days.

Bob-

I would second Ivan's recommendation to explore H-Alpha first. Be sure to ask this question on the Coronado forum too.
