The Mare Frigoris


Of the photos taken on the 2nd October, The most successful was this photo of the Mare Frigoris area with Plato and Mons Pico in the foreground. A link to the large size photo, which is surprisingly detailed considering the unsophisticated equipment used, is provided below.

Karl,

Your Afocal lunar images continue to impress me. Great work!! Does your camera auto-expose or are you setting it before you image.
All the best
Will

I leave the camera on autoexopsure. However, at smaller magnification when there is a large proportion of sky I do stop down the camera.
