July 26th Moon with a 60 and 80mm

#1

Post by Thefatkitty »


Hey all, hope you're well :D

Been a long week, glad it's almost over. I'm sitting here with The Catalyst by Linken Park playing in the background at the moment. And I'm on my third beer.

However, not all is lost, I'm just really tired at the moment :lol: Had a good night tonight with my wife and daughter when I came in from work, so that was good.

My forecast lately keeps calling for crappy skies, yet tonight I lucked out. Don't know how this happened with all the white blocks in my CSC forecast, but I'll take it.

The two scopes I used, a Sears 60mm Model 6331 with Towa glass, and my Celestron/Vixen C80-HD. Excuse the backyard. The empty beer cans in the milk crates are what I call my Covid Collection... :lol:

This is with my Sears 60mm and my new-to-me T2i. I also upgraded from AS2 to AS3 tonight. I also had to adjust my settings in PIPP; crop size went from 2400px to 3000px:

As the Moon was setting, I took 20 shots with my C80-HD; this is the result of that:

Thanks for looking, and have a great night/day. I really must sleep :D

Hey Mark. A fine pair of lunar images from you. You really grabbed Mares Crisium, Fecunditatis, and Nectaris nicely on the waxing crescent moon here, and as a Lunartic, I really enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing these captures with us on here Mark, and the kindest of regards.
