+Graham Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Now that is what I call detail. Brilliant stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman161 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Lovely Andy I've got 23 gigs to process of moon and Jupiter tomorrow-whether anything is us useable is another matter! Love the big mosaic-absolutely stunning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 The whole disc is nice and sharp, great detail on there. A good nights work there Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Very crisp images Andy As a child, I was inspired seeing Sinus Iridum through my small scope and then finding out just what it was. The beautiful "Bay of Rainbows" is a 150 mile diameter impact crater, flooded with basaltic lava during the formation of Mare Imbrium which destroyed half the crater wall. The remaining wall section is called Montes Jura. Sometimes when the terminator is nearby, the arc of the shining peaks of Montes Jura can be seen protruding from the blackness at the edge of the illuminated moon, when it is called "The Jewelled Handle". Chinas Chang'e 3 spacecraft was due to land in the bay last December but actually landed just outside it in Mare Imbrium. I've considered the moon as light pollution for far too long and feel it is about time I re-visited this very scenic place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've considered the moon as light pollution for far too long and feel it is about time I re-visited this very scenic place I feel the same way about the moon, but when its up it makes imaging DSO's with a One shot colour camera a chore. My master plan is to image Planetary/moon when DSO imaging isn't worthwhile. Luna 17 landed just outside Sinus Iridum in 1970 and lasted for nearly 1 year.

Guest devil74 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Beautiful Andy...absolutely beautiful. There are some awesome pics of the moon at the minute on here. Love the detail on this in the South..really brings it to life. Just like Leighs pic it's like you can reach out and touch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Beautiful shots. Very crisp images Andy Sometimes when the terminator is nearby, the arc of the shining peaks of Montes Jura can be seen protruding from the blackness at the edge of the illuminated moon, when it is called "The Jewelled Handle". It was seeing that through binoculars a few years ago (and not knowing what it was) that lead me to EMS in the first place. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
