Messier craters 28th August 2010

I like the sharp shadows on Messier crater to the right.

New images from Apollo Image Archive

Here's some new images from the Apollo Image Archive that I've picked out. Some of my favourite areas.
These are all from the mapping cameras of either Apollo 16 or 15.
They have been cropped and "Shadows/Highlights" (brilliant tool) adjusted in CS3.

Interesting section of Schröter's Valley.

Messier & Messier A 8th Oct 2006

I took this with a Tele Vue 2.5x Powermate and a Celestron 2x Barlow together. The AVI was 3000 frames taken at 10fps. Most of it looked very blurrred/grainy and out of focus, but it processed to this. This image is shrunk by 75% to make it look a bit sharper.

The seeing was fair at times, but mostly rubbish.

Craters re-processed using MAP

Here are some craters from way back... I re-processed them using the MAP method of multi alignment points.
All images taken with the humble old ToUcam. We don't need no stinking firewire camera! well, we do actually, but I can't afford one just yet ;-)
See... this is why you need to backup your AVI's onto DVD.
