They look similar in ways, however, as the former image was made with simply transforming a normal digital camera into a infrared camera, I wonder would LPODers with more powerful scopes be able to produce much better views in the IR (I used just a 4-1/2" reflector). I'm not sure, however, if any valuable science may be gained from it though. I'm thinking along lines that as infrared technology may not be 'believed' available, generally, LPOD visitors might want to try this digital conversion with old cameras they have lying around, and do this simple experiment (it might also prove useful with imaging the faintest of moon crescents. I've put up John Moore,
