Kevin, Interesting observation. I don't have a higher resolution image but here's the same area under opposite sun. It's a 2x enlargement so it's a little...
Hi Bob I believe that this is one photography very balanced in resolution, contrast and tone. It deserves a place between the other numerous ones of...
Hi David, thank you! Nah, I wasn't apologising - just stating rationale for some processing choices. I tried LOTS of tonal variations and this one worked best...
Excellent work Bob! It's tough when you see images taken by much larger scopes and compare your own to them. I think your right, I don't think a 200mm scope...
Kurt - The LPOD "Coppermine" photo gallery is indeed an increasingly valuable resource with fine photos of most lunar features. But there are also many other...
Chuck, During the summer of 2006 I made a drawing (a triptych-pan) of a young bowl-shaped crater, observed by a LEVA-ing astronaut somewhere near the moon's...
Paolo, I think there's absolutely no relief at Reiner gamma. None of the Reiner gamma type swirls (such as those at Mare Marginis or Mare Ingenii) are 3-D ...
Hi Ed, thank you very much! I was careful only to say that "my" 200mm scope probably can't do better :) . Based on your recent images yours might very well be...
Bob – It seems to me that the azimuth (or compass direction) of the sunlight, and the angle at which we view the rille, may be as much or more important as...
Thats an interesting image Kevin with really good detail. As you say it resembles Wargentin, it would be interesting to see this under a lower sun angle to see...
Thats a beautiful Copernicus Bob with excellent detail, the tonal balance and contrast looks just right to me. Glad you managed some new AVIs in excellent...
Very nice Ed, great detail for an 8". Regards, Stefan ... 11, 2006. The good seeing has been absent since this exceptional night, but at least I still have...
Stefan, thank you! And thanks for the confirmation on the tonality. You know how it goes - after staring at the same image for hours sometimes I find myself...
Stefan, excellent images again. I really like the NW widefield view - great detail over a wide area not usually mosaiced together. I haven't captured that part...
Jim, You certainly are correct that there are more factors than just sun elevation that relate to rille visibility. I've noticed these myself when imaging...
Stefan, If you captured the NW lunar sector under mediocre seeing, I'd willingly pay any charge for your stay in Italy say 1 month at least! Sorry for my...
Hi all, After having spent a quite critical period, I'm now clear enough to start again with processing old lunar stuff I recorded over the past 2 months. Hope...
Very nice images Stefan! Your Sinus Iridum with a little more processing is most impressive. Regards, Tom ... willingly ... seeing. ... panorama, ... Rille, ...
Hi Paolo, It's good to see new images from you again. Your Petavius low sun angle shot is a masterpiece! Let's hope for clear, steady skies in 2007. Regards,...
Great picture, Ed! The nearby crater chains are well shown - no doubt they would be more famous if they didn't have to share the stage with Tycho. best, Alan ...
