Latest Lunar Images

The latest lunar images using both the Skywatcher 130m reflector and Skywatcher ST80 short refractor mounted on an EQ2 equatorial mount.

The crater Tycho in colour showing the different regions and terrain around the crator.

 

The image was taken with the Skywatcher 130m with the Toucam Pro II at prime focus.  Stacked and processed in Registax to give the colour effect.

Nearly full moon!
Actually 93% Waxing.
 

 This one is with the Skywatcher ST80 short refractor and f0.6 focal reducer.  The focal reducer works really well with the ST80!  Again, Toucam Pro II at prime focus.  Stacked and processed in Registax to give the slight colour effect. 10/4/06

 

 
The Moon and Saturn together in colour!

Images taken with the Skywatcher ST80, f0.6 focal reducer. Stacked and processed with Registax.  The Moon and Saturn were imaged seperately to reproduce the image seen on the telescope. A lovely sight!
