The Moon Through a Dob

Posted By Alan Friedman

Hi Phil -

A very nice moon image - thanks for posting it. The full resolution piece shows some noise - the wide image is more forgiving.

Probably my challenged sense of direction, but I would prefer to see the image rotated 180 degrees. smile

Posted By Alan Friedman

Hi Wes -

A great imge of Aristoteles - which for some reason (maybe its odd shape?) seems to be an elusive target.

A few Moon images

Posted By Alan Friedman

Hi James -

Very beautiful wide field images and the detail in the close-up of Moretus is excellent (although I wish it were oriented horizontally!).

What telescope and camera are you using for these?

thanks-
Alan

A fine image, Richard. I was completely clouded out this week - I'm glad to see that you and others had better luck.
