Thank you!!

It would be great if you could do some astrophotography. You did say you have a telescope didn't you?

Hozzell In reply to quicksimon [2006-04-24 12:56:35 +0000 UTC]

Yes but only a very small one - there are a couple of bigger ones hanging around the family that I may be able to borrow. And we have been invited up to a families shed(?!) in the summer - they are now kitting it out as he does a lot of astrophotography - just hope we get chance to visit

Looks good. Were You thinking about making the shot of same place each day? You could see how shadows change then

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

quicksimon In reply to FoxMaq [2006-04-18 21:27:42 +0000 UTC]

thanks, yeah I did do!!

I couldn't believe I had 3 clear nights in row. The night before this only the tip of the range was showing. I should have a look throught the pics. If I would have given it more thought, I would have taken more care with the postioning of the pics to see the shadow difference with more accuracy each night!

Chrissyo [2006-04-07 05:23:50 +0000 UTC]

Great shot! I always find it hard to get such close shots in sharp detail like this Apollo 15 landed between those mountains and those three craters didn't it?

I thought one of the Apollos did!! I'll have a quick check on google. Hey, the LPI is the future of sharp lunar shots!!

looking at it, it is sometimes easy to forget that it's big, and that those things really are mountain instead of just wrinkles, imperfections.
Thanks for reminding us.
