Dear All,

Please find a first set of images of the moon taken last August, 7 with the Celestron 14, Basler 1920-155 camera, Astrophysics X2 Barlow lens and a red filter.

Let's start with the classics :

Clavius :


Tycho :


Maginus :


Deslandres :


Straight wall :


The nice riles of Flammarion and Oppolzer :


The area around Bode with a lot of cracks and riles :


And the nice Philolaus crater :


More information is given there :


And more to follow ...

Best regards

Yes, Christian, this is absolutely inspiring work.
Thank you for sharing it!

Can't wait to set up a Hyperstar with my new C14 EdgeHD.
Currently using a humble iPhone 6.

Best wishes!

fantastic!

Obviously that is a good site.

Do?you have any tips for C-14 hi-res? (e.g. cooling)

Thanks Stan,

Usually, I cool down the optical tube with the two attached fans :


This time that was not necessary, there was no difference between the mirror temperature and the ambient temperature.

I used an ADC (Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector) because at the beginning of the session the moon was rather low (about 35°). So even the red filter, I had to correct for atmospheric dispersion.

Of course, I tested and tuned a little bit the collimation.

Best regards
