Equipment

18" Dobsonian with alt-az drive, Skynyx 2-2M camera for high-res mono and Nikon D300 camera for low-res color

Description

This region features one of the most unusual geological structures on the Moon, with a strange and complex landscape marked by ancient volcanism (Schröter's Valley, 3.6BYr) and a much younger impact crater (Aristarchus, 500MYr). These processes have given rise to significant variations in surface chemistry and age which can be revealed by enhancing subtle color variations present in the natural view. The area shown here is roughly 200 km across and the smallest visible craters are ~1km in diameter. Details about image acquisition and processing can be found here: http://www.leif.org/mikael/aristarchuscolor.html

Equipment

8" home made newtonian and a Cookbook245

Description

The still photo was published in S&T Aug 1999 Letters pg12 "The Night the Comet Stood Still". The opportunity to take this image was noted by Roger Sinnott, April 1999 pg 111 Celestial Calendar,Comet LINEAR's Odd Motion. In reviewing the image, Mr. Sinnott lamented not having the capacity to "print" the movie. Now that that capacity is available, here is the movie of Comet Linear (C/1998 M5): March 14/15, 1999. Telescope tracking was turned off. The motion of the stars and the comet are as seen relative to a stationary observer
