Both Copernicus (93km) and Eratosthenes (59km) on Day 7 of the lunar cycle.
7th June 2014
Celestron 8 SE, Neximage 5 & Registax 6
Copernicus is 60 miles across with a central peaks reaching 12,600 feet. Photo taken with a Skyris 618C CCD camera attached to a 155mm refractor. The moon was 10.6 days after new moon. Phase at 82% of full.
A photograph and detail of one of the costumes I created for and donated to Robert Marcelonis' for his play Copernicus, as part of The Copernicus Project, an AIDS fundraiser.

This bronze statue of Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (Mikołaj Kopernik) is located on Krakowskie Przedmieście, in front of the Staszic Palace, the seat of the Polish Academy of Sciences. It was designed by Bertel Thorvaldsen in 1822 and completed in 1830. The monument was funded by the scientist and philosopher Stanisław Staszic as well as donations from the general public.
Soon after the German occupation of Warsaw began in 1939, they placed a large plaque over the statue’s pedestal, proclaiming Copernicus to have been German....
On 11th February 1942, a "minor sabotage" operation was carried out by Maciej Aleksy Dawidowski (code name “Alek”), a young Polish resistance fighter from the “Szare Szeregi” organisation, who removed and hid the German plaque.
Minor sabotage: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_sabotage
The Germans responded by removing the Jan Kiliński statue from Krasińskich Square and hiding it in the vaults of the National Museum. Dawidowski and his comrades in the Szare Szeregi retaliated by daubing the museum with graffiti which stated: "People of Warsaw - I am here - Jan Kiliński", and adding a new plaque to the Copernicus monument on which they had written the following words: "For the removal of the Kiliński statue I am extending winter by two months - Kopernik"....

The statue was damaged during the Warsaw Uprising, after which the Germans knocked it off its pedestal and subsequently stole it as they were evacuating Warsaw. It was later found in the town of Nysa, restored and replaced in its original location in 1949.
In 2007 a representation of Copernicus’ solar system, modelled after an image in his “De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium”, was embedded in the square in front of the monument.
In 2017 a plaque commemorating Dawidowski’s action was placed next to the monument.
There are replicas of the Copernicus monument in Montreal and Chicago....

Taken April 16 at end of the monthly FVAS Star Party at Peck Farm Park in Geneva, using the 12 inch Meade SCT and 13mm Hyperion Eyepiece with the Pentax Q10 camera. Pentax 02 standard zoom lens set to 15mm focal length. About two minutes of video but only about 45 frames were used.

The Copernicus crater is seen here in the middle of the image just at the terminator (the edge seperating the light and dark sides of the moon.)

The prominent impact crater Copernicus photographed on September 19, 2011 on a waning gibbous moon.
Note the string of small craters that run between Copernicus and the crater Eratosthenes (see image notes). One of the goals of this photo was to capture those craters using my relatively modest 2.8" Astro-Tech refractor. The smallest craters that are distinctly reproduced in this photo are approximately 5km in size (about 3 arc seconds), although a few of the craterlets shown in the target "string" may be smaller than that limit. Copernicus itself is 93km (58 miles) in diameter.

Taken with an Astro-Tech AT72ED telescope (2.8"/72mm aperture, 430mm prime focal length, f/6) using a Nikon D5100 DSLR (ISO 200, 1/13 second, afocal projection, 10mm eyepiece, 2X barlow, 24mm Nikon Ai lens).
