Ten Day Old Moon
Image Credit: Ralph Pass
Ten Day Old Moon I am constantly impressed that CCD and webcam technology is making serious astro-imagers of us all. Here is a quite nice mosaic of two images that form a publication quality view of the 10 day old Moon. This is the way the Moon looks in the eyepiece. The image also usefully shows not only detail near the terminator but albedo patches such as the famous dark ring around northern and eastern Serenitatis and the pyroclastic deposits around Sinus Aestuum. Click the image for a higher resolution, color view that I have enhanced with an unsharp mask. Technical Details: Yesterday's LPOD: A Weird Moon Tomorrow's LPOD: Posidonius: Rilles and Uplift |
