Solar reflections from the 24th of March 2018.

Post by eroel »

Hi:
Just returned from the rural observatory, took some reflections of the sun on the moon but seeing was not to par.
Anyway, the mosaic went through.
Hope you like it, it was taken with a 10" f/20 TEC Maksutov and the SKYnyx 2-2 with a 0.5x reducer at its nose, the seeing was changing every moment, it still was daylight time, the scope did not equalize in temperature, but if you open another window, you can see how it looks, there are more small craterlets inside craters.
Weekend days were not good, much haze and clouds.
Best regards,
Eric.

That is a great close-up mosaic, Eric ! It is probably the first one of this kind I see.

Thanks, I really liked it when I started postprocessing it.
Sometimes you do not expect a nice result when you see some parameters out of order.
Looks like my workflow for the sun works on the moon. :o
Best regards,
Eric.
