Just a reminder that tomorrow is International Observe the Moon Night: http://observethemoonnight.org/. So get out your scopes, binoculars, or just your eyes and have at it
George, did you take that image at the same time (roughly) as the one up there ^ of the Apennines (16th Sept, by my reckoning of the terminator passing through Plato and Eratosthenes)? I am trying to identify the crater with the crease across the bottom of it. It looks familiar but I can't name it at present.
Nice pictures George. I never touched the collimation screws of my scope, maybe I should do it, I'm not that happy with my images and what I see with my eyes.
I've seen that before but lost the link - thanks for that :thumbup:. I find Google Moon handy with its overlaid geologic and topographic charts. I've also played a little with Lunar Terminator Visualization Tool. I've not customised it much yet but I've seen some amazing images generated by it on LPOD, eg, this one.There is a very good interactive lunar atlas here - I love using it to identify the craters in the photos:
