Title: Moon Craters 1st quarter
Post by: Carole on Apr 19, 2013, 21:10:29
Tried out my DMK21 on Moon craters last night using my deforked ETX125 on a CG5 GT

Craters Archimedes left, Aristillus upper right, and Autolycus bottom right with the Apennine mountains

Carole,

I'd re-fork it as it doesn't seem to work when de-forked. ;)

I think what Tony means is that the images are not displaying :(

I can see them, but I'm finding the website extremely slow this evening, maybe they are not downloading straight away. 

Any-one else having problems.

I see no craters. Mind you I'm sat in front of my laptop and the moon's in the sky outside :)

Hmmm, they've disappeared now, but took a long time to download on another site.  I wonder whether this is because I am hosting it from a new website.  I'll have to upload them to the gallery.

Well I don't know what went wrong as they were definitely there to start with and when I went back to see Tony's comments they were still there, very odd.

I've uploaded them via the gallery now.

When I looked earlier there was no images, and so I thought that you had forgotten the link, its most probably this super server we are using.
Just reading back, and it sounded rude the way it was put, so please accept my apologies Carole. :oops:

I can now see them........Mark could you see them when you posted the above quote?

PS.........Good to see images of the moon again. 8)

That's OK Tony, but I must admit, because I could see them myself I didn't understand what you were talking about until Mark explained.

Thanks Fay, I don't get a lot of practice doing Moon and planets, but I think these are probably the best I've managed so far. 

I took a look at the other forum I posted them on and they too have disappeared, so must be something to do with hosting off my new google site.  Weird that they post initially and then disappear though.

I am glad that you are turning into a lunar-tic, Carole. About time.....  :D

Very nice images, well done.  But are they a fraction unsharp, or is it my laptop being old.... or me being old ??
