philjay Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Had a great night on lunar last night. Despite the lack of wind at ground level, up above was turmoil so I was pushing it with barlowing the MAk to F30 but I had to give it a go. This scope has the capability to show the central rille down the Valles Alpes but I haven't managed it properly yet due to conditions but this is the closest so far. Its the best 2000 frames from 4500 and the rille is just discernible if you squint Edited March 18, 2016 by philjay Tweedledee, Werisit and +TasKiNG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 That's one of my favourite features on the moon, I can't wait until you get a proper go at it. philjay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 That is brilliant Phil Apparently the rille is only 300 to 500 metres wide and the valley is up 15 kilometres wide. You must be approaching a resolution of several hundred metres per pixel, which equates to under half an arcsecond resolution. philjay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
