Hi all,
Getting bored with all the great DSO recently, and so I'd thought take some Moon shots. The other reason is because I haven't got a camera to take great DSO, YET! (except the Canon, and I'm not into guiding at present, that's another learning curve). I still used the ToUcam Pro II, but for some reason the images I took of the Moon, Saturn and my first Mars were all in black and white, but I don't know why?, still here are the Moon shots.

The large crater is crater Lansberg in Oceanus Procellarum,

And a shot earlier in the night.
There was a lot of atmospheric disturbance, so the images are not brilliant even after processing with Registax.

Tony - Shots like pretty good to me...nothing wrong with those - I particularly like the Clavius shot. If I can remember (it's been a long time) I'm sure there is somewhere in Toucam camera serup where you can check a tickbox for B&W are you sure this wasn't accidently ticked?

Am I sensing a new camera on the horizon....?
Cheers, John
Great moon images - especially Clavius!
|Tony,
you are so good at moon shots. Were they all thru x3 barlow & how many FPS etc did you capture?
Fay,
Shots 1,3 & 4 are through the X3 and 2 & 5 are through the X2, and if you look at the last 2 images you can see the difference between them.
As for the FPS they are a mixture of 5 and 10 fps usually 5.

I like the image of Oceanus Procellarum, especially all the lumps and bumps arround Lansberg
