The Moon
This is the first Moon image I have taken with my 102mm refractor and so was a bit of an experiment.It is just the scope and DMK21 camera
(no barlow). The individual panes were stacked in Registax5 and processed in Photoshop.
The stitching was carried out with Microsoft ICE. This pic is a half full size. To see the full size image please click on the image.

This image is 25% full size and consists of 120 separate images taken with an Imaging Source DMK21AU04.AS camera connected
to my 9.25” Celestron telescope via a 2x barlow.
Each image consisted of around 2000 frames that were processed in RegiStax5 and the resulting images
were stitched together using Microsoft ICE.

This FULL Moon image was taken with a Canon 40D DSLR camera through my FL102S Telescope and so is a single frame.
This is one of my favourite craters. I rather like the arc of six smaller caters of gradual decrease in size.
They are, I believe, just a random occurrence.

Plato
Arago and domes
This is a rather special region for me as it is the first region where I found volcanic domes on the Moon and with just my 80mm birdwatching scope. Craters on the Moon are caused by impacts but there are a few volcanic craters to be found. Two are to be seen in this image. They are labelled a and b on the Moon Atlas extract one just to the North and the other to the West of the crater Arago and can be seen as shallow bumps on the low angle illuminated photo of the region. They are only ever visible when the region is close to the terminator.

This image of Mare Crisium consists of 6 overlapping images stitched together with Microsoft ICE
They were taken with a DMK21 camera through my Celestron 9.25” SCT
Another mosaic of the Mare Crisium region under different illumination.
This was taken on 14 September 2011 with my Vixen FL102S telescope and 3x barlow and DMK21 camera.
Crater Tycho and surrounding area.
This mosaic was taken on 14 September 2011 as above. When the Moon is full or near full the rays from the impact that created Tycho are clearly visible.
