Derby and District Astronomical Society

The Moon - 8 days old

[Back to the Lunation Index]

Here is a photo of the Moon captured through the Society's 8" Meade LX-90 telescope by Chris Newsome during an observing session in Allestree Park, Derby on Saturday, 16th April 2005. Despite poor seeing conditions and scudding clouds the LX-90 in combination with a Meade LPI camera is still able to produce an image of this quality. Chris stacked 60 frames in Registax v3 and adjusted in Photoshop.



The following two images of the Moon were taken by Chris Newsome on the 19th December 2004 through his ETX-105 using a Meade LPI camera. Further information is provided on the pictures.
