These are quite phenomenal Pedro :bow :hamster:

I was quite surprised to see a Moon this evening, not seen the sky for so long.

Beautiful lunar images, Pedro. Lots of lovely details in these. I’m hoping to do some colour imaging over winter with a new camera arriving Dec 25th :)

Hi Pedro,

Nice images there Pedro !
Moon looks very crisp.
I was wondering how a H-alpha filter works on the Moon. Is the Moon a mini Sun ????

Thanks

Magnus

Magnus, it calms the seeing wonderfully and gives a much crisper image. I learned this trick quite early on :)

As Alexandra said it helps to use a IRPass filter (apo refractors) or a 35nm H-alpha filter (achromatic refractors) to image the Moon. The seeing is usually much better in the red part of the spectrum
