Here's our old friend Boussingault under a fairly high sun angle. This image is perhapes a little softer then we're used to but it's been minimally processed...
Just a heads up from the mirror shop here. Now that I've finished up with some outstanding commitments I'll be starting a steady but slow flow of Newtonian...
I do too Stefan. Actually this whole recent image series could be a bit tighter in the fine detail but to do that I need to resample the frames, divide them up...
Coincidentally I've also been mulling over how to get the maximum out of the Registax alignment stage. I find that smaller alignment box sizes than 128 gives...

I just finished posting my images for this year to 4/22 at: http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/~rhill/moonobs.html It's just a random listing with no rationale. I...
... Nice images. ... A couple of suggestions: - alphabetically sort by feature name - group by category as the LPOD Photo Gallery Paolo -- Avventure Planetarie...
Chuck, The A16-lecture was A.O.K.! There was much, what we call: "amusation" (amusement). I show'd the (very interested) audience lots of LEVA Hasselblad...
