Waxing Gibbous 99.6% 14.30 days


Both images were captured Tuesday night with less than desirable conditions. Seeing was 2/5 at best, with high clouds thickening, but after 5 weeks of clouds and rain... I was just happy to get the equipment out of the garage! The first pic is one afocal shot through a 32mm ep and the second consist of 7800 sub web cam frames stacked to generate the 7 sections I targeted for stitching of the final mosaic image. Copernicus and the Kepler crater rays are easy to spot along with Aristarchus above and left. Click the images to see full size!
