whenever family and tight friends come over for star-parties i tend to keep my sentences short, lots of vivid nouns and verbs, metaphors based on everyday...
i agree, a crater is fitting memorial for Mr. Hill. but where and which crater is suitable for this purpose? and would it be added to the Lunar 100 list as the...
Whilst tidying up my disc recently I came across a set of lunar pictures that had been processed but not transferred to my web site. One of these is of Mare...
My apologies again! The link should be http://homepage.ntlworld.com/peter.lloyd3/Moon/Craters/Latest.html Peter ... -- Peter Lloyd 51º 56' 53"N 0º 32' 05"W...
Peter, I believe that color processing is another interesting tool to try and better understand what happened in the moon's geologic past and is something you...
I also agree that enhanced color imaging shows us something about the moon that we can't see visually through an eyepiece. I have put an enhanced color image...
Rogue, When our scope is aimed at the moon, the folks hear nothing else than "APOLLO". ;-) Yes, I'm a (sort of) Apollo-freak, but that's because the visitors...
Peter, there's a crater on the moon which was once called HILL by Hugh Percival Wilkins. That crater is nowadays known as the I.A.U.'s Lockyer-H. I wonder if...
Hi Danny Very well spotted! Like you, I am not sure whether the crater named Hill by Wilkins on his map(s)does honour Harold Hill. As you know, some of...
And it's possible to spot craters Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins near the A11 landing site through a 150mm telescope, given the right ilumination conditions. ...
On p 329 of Wilkins and Moore, The Moon, the crater Hill is siad to be named for a "contemporary English selenographer" and there is a short bio of Harold Hill...
My apologies to anyone who tried to access my latest pictures of Mare Humorum and didn't get any pictures. It is corrected now, so please try again. (A couple...
Thanks for that research, Chuck. I actually consulted 'The Moon' by Wilkins/Moore (the Faber and Faber 1961 2nd edition) before my original message posting, ...
Hi Raymund I tend to smile quite a lot while observing the Moon at the telescope eyepiece, so I guess that anyone observing me wouldn't think I was being very...
... Perhaps on the near side. Are the craters, "Borman", "Lovell" and "Anders" within the large crater "Apollo" not IAU sanctioned? (Clementine Atlas map 121) ...
Hi Chuck, I have been developing new filters that can mimic interfernce filters to a high degree. these filters employ delicate, exotic, dyes, that until...
Hi Al, The filters we are looking for are used to determine the chemical makeup of lunar features. We have the best lunar photographers on the planet here in...
Hi Raymund, Al Misiuk from Sirius Optics just dropped in to discuss developing filters to allow us to determine chemical composition of lunar features. Clear...
I don't know if this helps but if you look at the normalized reflectance spectra of lunar analog samples of Anorthosite and Basalt they are very broad. There...
Hi Chuck, Can someone please give an overview of how the filters can be used to determine chemical composition of Lunar surface? There would be varying...
After all this talk of filters I've been playing around with processing my existing images in a way to bring out albedo differences to a greater degree. What I...
Al, Can you be more specific as to where we can read about these filters. I have looked at the Anacortes site and failed to find them. They sound interesting....
Professional astronomers typcially observe one of the Apollo landing sites, as well as their areas of interest, and use the known spectral/compositional ...
Tony, This looks like a very interesting techinique. I don't know about chemical composition, but it would be helpful to study rays since it seems to make them...
Hi Peter, Look at the manufacturers list. I'm under MisAl Optics. This is not a Sirius Optics product. Originally, this process wa developed for military night...
... Your technique reminds me of a similar one (used by a well known lunar scientist) I read about in "To a Rocky Moon" or "The Modern Moon". It consisted in...
Hi Peter, The scans are shown at the Anacortes website. If you need an explanation, I will provide them. Anacortes and others will ship outside the US. Al ... ...
