Hi all, Having run out of AVI files to process, I was clearing out my disc and discovered some files from last December that had been overlooked. Amongst them...
Hi Peter fine. The dark line , that appears to cut right across the valley from a small crater north of the valley to a similar feature to the south, is a...
Thanks, Raffaello. I assumed it was a well-known feature. I just wondered what it is. A picture on Jan Timmermans' site (www.firmament.tk) really makes it ...
It is May Day, another month and time to vote for LPOD Image of the Month for April, 2005. Please review the excellent April images and email me with your...
Hi Peter ... My picture isn't so sharp but I think I can see the feature on my image here: http://www.davesastro.co.uk/moon/vallis_alpes_20050418.jpg At least,...
OK then about the exposure - I know that a typical shutter device shakes the camera and the scope. What does the CCD do differently? ... sensor ... ...

Dear observers of the moon, and possible Apollo-freaks, Warning: This could be "very old news"... Anyway, I want to write about it... This moment, I try to...
... Except on a DSLR, which does have the moving mirror, just like a normal film SLR. And, I'm sure I've heard of physical shutters on CCD cameras too, albeit ...

Hi Chuck, I don't know if it would get more voters involved or not, but feel free to set up a poll for voting on the LPOD of the month. You could set up a poll...
It's a tough choice with so many fantastic pictures. But I vote for: 1. Righteous Recti - Wednesday, April 13, 2005 2. A Chain of Mystery - Monday, April 25,...
Hello, Most astronomical CCD cameras do have a mechanical shutter. That way dark frames can be taken without having to cover the end of the telescope tube....

Zac, Thats a great image and the others on your website are also really superb. In your Plato shot you can even see what looks like banding or layers in the...
Stefan Thanks. I know the "cliffs" of the walls of Plato show banding which is sometimes difficult to show in images if the image (in 12-bit images) is made...
Thanks Anthony, Paco, Charles Wood (LPOD), Charles Taylor (Lunar-Observing group), and all the observers and photographers of the moon's surface and of ...
