30th December 2006
The weather has been terrible lately, so I haven't had a chance to capture any deep sky objects for a while.
Today the sky was quite clear and i noticed that the moon was gaining height at around 3:30pm in the afternoon so I set-up my 8" Newtonian to take a look.
Even though it was the middle of the afternoon the image was very clear but I could still see a lot of atmospheric turbulence.
These are some of the images I managed to capture with the toucam pro 2.
Plato & The Alpine Valley
The Bay of Rainbows (Sinus Iridum)
The Alpine Valley
Plato
The image below of Plato shows that I have just managed to capture one of the small craters within. If you move the mouse over the image the lines will appear detailing the location of the crater.
Mare Imbrium
