Digital Images (Nikon Coolpix 990)

Moon 8/14/02 Half full. Digital camera afocally coupled to 40mm Plössl lens for this image. Closeup on Mare Serenitatis. 26mm Meade 3000 Super Plössl. Moon 8/14/02 Mostly full, but some craters are visible on the left near the terminator. 40mm Plössl. Closer view. The craters are a bit easier to see in this view. 26mm Meade Super Plössl. Mare Humorum, Mare Nubium, and Southern reaches of Oceanus Procellarum 26mm. Moon 8/02/03 A crescent moon with nice detail in shadows along the terminator. Unfortunately the Moon was pretty low in the sky, so seeing was a bit wobbly, but I was able to clean up the image in Photoshop to some extent. A central peak in a large crater along the terminator was visible in the eyepiece but did not show up in the digital camera, unfortunately.
