Back out under the stars with Camera & Scope.

Hi All,

Yes it was great to here the telescope moving in anger. first I had to dust down all the cob webs of the scope I enjoyed the views through the scope then the moon got in the way bummer. So I did what any Astronomer would do I got the camera out and this is what I got.

Hope you like them. It was great to get back out under the stars again.

Very nice images Carl. Is that theophilus in the first pic?

Hi Dave G

The Creator is called Copernicus.It is also known as the Monarch of the Moon. Samples brought back by the Apollo missions show that Copernicus was formed 810 million years ago. :shock:

Nice one Carl.
Good to see someone is actually getting some observing done.

Nice one Carl,
Its interesting to see the floor of Copernicus as half smooth and half rough, I noticed this also very clearly in the Obsession when I pointed it at the Copernicus.
