Lovely images Bob - the processing looks a bit softer than your usual, perhaps it's also partly the extra enlargement. Your images usually have a distinctive...
Geoff, thanks. I wish a 5x was truly 5x instead of more like 7x when used with a DMK camera, and 7x is definitely too much for any seeing I'm ever likely to...
Hi Stefan, I thought someone might comment on that :). Yes, these are sized/sharpened to look ok on my LCD monitor which has a high display resolution but is...

Hi everyone, Last night, while observing the moon, I notice that the "Lunar X" was plainly visible very near the terminator, using my old Edmund 4.25 inch...

Glad to be of help, Jim. Sorry my pictures are not higher resolution, but under most circumstances that is about as good as I can do with my equipment and...
Jim, I have quite a few images of the lunar north on my site, but unfortunately usually at less favorable libration. You wouldn't happen to have a list of...
Thanks, Peter! I think the images as posted on your website will prove quite serviceable. I have added simulations of the March 10th Moon based on your photos...
