This image is the first of many I hope to
take showing (at least to me) interesting areas of the Moon in detail. It
was taken with a Phillips spc900nc webcam through a Celestron 9.25" SCT
using a x2 barlow. This image shows two domes near to the crater Arago which are labelled on the Moon Atlas excerpt as alpha and beta.They look like slightly raised features and are volcanos unlike the craters which were caused by impacts. To see a larger image click on the thumbnail on the left. This is no 32 in Charles Wood's Lunar 100. |

Phases of the
Moon
In October 2001, as part of
a club project I set out to capture a full set of the Moon's phases. i.e. an
image for each day of the cycle. It took approximately 3 years, mostly due to
the British weather not cooperating. The day 1 image is the "wrong way round" as
it was taken in Australia and without a telescope. Most images have been
taken with my 80mm Swarovski scope. The labels indicate the number of days (to
the nearest day) from new moon.
