Deslandres Crater, seen in the center of this photo, is a battered crater, so heavily eroded and otherwise altered by the "rain" of eons of meteor strikes that it was not recognized to be a distinct crater until the mid-20th Century. It is located to the southeast of the Mare Nubium (a portion of which fills the upper left of this image), in the area where the rugged southern highlands of the Moon begin to abut the lunar maria. In fact, a small region of mare material, due to basaltic lava, can be seen in the eastern interior floor of Deslandres (right side of the crater, as north is up). Despite its near invisibility amidst the welter of craters in the area, Deslandres is the third-largest crater formation on the side of the Moon visible from Earth. The crater Walther is attached to the remnant of the eastern rim, and Ball intrudes into the southwestern rim. The crater remnant Lexell has broken across the southeastern rim, forming a "harbor" in the crater floor due to the wide gap in its northern rim. The irregular crater Regiomontanus is attached to the northeast rim of Deslandres. The relatively youthful appearing crater Hell

lies entirely within the western rim; it is seen here with its interior nearly halfway illuminated, and with its central peak caught in the spotlight.

My eye is drawn to the notable chain of 5 or 6 craters in the eastern portion of Deslandres. The craters seem to regularly increase in size as they stretch towards the northeast. they point conveniently to the patch of mare material previously mentioned.

Do take some time to explore around the image. Note how irregular and rugged the terrain is. It is truly a fitting setting for a crater named Hell.

Regarding Regiomontanus, the squashed-looking crater on the northeastern border of Deslandres: there is something about its central mountain that is surprising. Look closely and you might be able to see that a small meteor has impacted precisely on the tip of its highest peak and left a tiny 3½-mile craterlet in its place (Thanks to Andrew Planck for pointing this out in his blog: I finally saw it!)

This is a two part mosaic pseudo-coloured. What you really see through a H-alpha scope is much more red (656.3nm) in colour. The prominence over the eastern limb was wonderfully intricate. The detail in this image is some of the best I've seen and captured so far. I have the good seeing and larger aperture to thank.

The bright Moon transitions to the vast darkness of space across this image. The transition begins as the lunar limb where the Moon and space meet. Roughly at center image the transition becomes lunar terminator, where the Moons limb lies in shadow. The transition between limb and terminator is roughly the lunar south pole.

9 RGB image runs taken over several months in 2017 were used to make the image map of Jupiter I used to make this full rotation video.

Several small parts of Jupiter were missing (mainly on the poles) so I copied and pasted similar looking detail into those areas, just so that I could complete the map (note: as such the map is not 100% accurate, only about 94%)

When the seeing was not as good I have attempted to compensate for those by sharpening those more, and by also blurring back the images captured on the better nights.

To integrate (blend) the images together - I used the map tools in Winjupos to initially create a master (with all 9 maps added, just showing their best parts), then manually blended (in photoshop) the parts that varied quite a bit in sharpness/colour and brightness - it took about 1 full day to blend the images for this rotation !

Each of the 9 images I captured images were either RGB or LRGB runs vids taken over 20mins to an hour between May-July 2017...

Using data gathered by the Faint Object infraRed CAmera for the SOFIA Telescope (FORCAST) onboard the NASA/DLR Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), astronomers have detected water molecules (H2O) in sunny Clavius Crater, one of the largest craters visible from Earth, located in the Moon’s southern hemisphere. The SOFIA data reveal water in concentrations of 100-412 parts per million — roughly equivalent to 355 ml (12 ounce) of water — trapped in 1 m3 of soil spread across the lunar surface.

Clavius is one of the largest crater formations on the Moon and the second largest crater on the visible near side.

Ecco un mosaico di Luna Gibbosa Crescente al 78% del 1° gennaio 2023.

Usando la tecnica della "Mineral Moon", ho aumentato la saturazione in ognuna delle parti per evidenziare le piccole differenze cromatiche, le quali indicano una diversa concentrazione di elementi chimici sulla superficie del nostro satellite. Quindi il blu dei mari lunari indica una maggiore presenza di ferro e titanio, le zone di colore arancio o giallo sono ricche di ferro ma povere di titanio e quelle rosse sono povere di entrambi gli elementi. I crateri da impatto più recenti tendono all’azzurro o blu chiaro, mentre quelli più antichi al rosso e blu scuro. Il colore marrone indica la presenza di antico materiale vulcanico.

Copernicus – diameter is 96 km, named after the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. It typifies craters that formed during the Copernican period in that it has a prominent ray system.

From Wikipedia: The Copernican Period in the lunar geologic timescale runs from approximately 1.1 billion years ago to the present day. The base of the Copernican period is defined by impact craters that possess bright optically immature ray systems.

This is from another video I captured on May 20, 2017 showing Jupiter and two moon, Io and Europa. The original video capture was 10,000 frames over 3-minutes. I only processed the first 1-minute of the video stream (about 3,500 frames) for this image. Three minutes is simply too long unless you derotate the video images (from Jupiter rotating during the capture).

The next step is to refine the capture process to maximize the frames per second (fps) for a 1-minute video.

Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, 2 days after its 2023 opposition. One of the Galilean moons, Io, casts a dark shadow as it transits across the face of Jupiter. The Great Red Spot is also visible near the center.

Jupiter rotates about its axis every 10 hours, making it the fastest-rotating planet in the Solar System. As a result, it is noticeably wider at the equator. Its atmosphere is separated into several bands at different latitudes, which creates turbulence and storms along the boundaries.

This will be the first of several posts from the 2023 Jupiter season. The seeing (atmospheric turbulence) above SC was exceptionally stable in 2022, so I'm not expecting these 2023 images to be much sharper than those from 2022. But we'll see.

I finally got into a groove with my new telescope last night, after collimation and the blessing of good seeing. I pushed my personal boundaries with this shot, using a 3x focal extender. The subject is Moretus Crater and the area toward the southern limb of the Moon. So much yet to learn about imaging with this telescope!

Behold, the grand finale: my best Jupiter image so far. This is the result of just a few minutes of good seeing and many hours of pushing the outside of the envelope in image processing. WinJUPOS derotation and PixInsight deconvolution are incredible tools for planetary imaging.

Jupiter rotates about its axis every 10 hours, making it the fastest-rotating planet in the Solar System. As a result, it is noticeably wider at the equator. Its atmosphere is separated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along the boundaries. The Great Red Spot, visible in the southeast, is a giant storm with a diameter larger than Earth.

Meu primeiro teste com a câmera planetária ZWO ASI 290MC. Novamente, a atmosfera estava turbulenta, prejudicando o registro. Mas vale o exercício, buscando aprender e avançar nas próximas oportunidades. Em momento oportuno, vou precisar adquirir outro notebook (que possua USB 3.0 e mais recursos) para poder aproveitar melhor o potencial/velocidade desta câmera. Também vou precisar de um filtro UV/IR Cut (este já está a caminho). Estou ainda em faze de testes, buscando melhores formas de captar e processar imagens planetárias. No momento do registro de Júpiter, a lua Europa (ao lado dele na imagem) estava projetando sua sombra (círculo preto) sobre parte do planeta.
