Some lunar close-ups

#1

Post by MrShorty »

After having surgery in early December, the Doc said I could not haul my telescope out for a while. I'm finally clear to lug the beast out, so I took some photos of the moon. Enjoy!

Lots of little craters down south.

I liked the detail around Albetegnius. For nFA's sake, I will point out that crater named for his "nemesis" is the crater just to the right of the "keyhole" shaped Vogel. Also a nice view of the central peak in Walther.

Nicely done! Thanks for pointing out my lunar "pied a terre" so to speak. Just FYI I'm think of shifting closer to south of SLC and also reprocessing my lunar shots in preparation for a new camera.
