Magnificient shot of the target! Lots and lots of surface detail present - and a fantastic presence! I happened to be on the same neighbourhood 43 minutes earlier. This quite fuzzy shot is taken at 19.57 UT on the 10th of May 2008. So this is only a single shot afocally with digital pocket camera, but the timing is right and one gets to compare a bit the light conditions. Be well! P.S. sorry about the time error in my original reply - got an additional hour somewhere... now it is corrected! P.P.S also brightened up the pic a bit as it was originally a bit on the dark side... -------------------- Share - and you shall have it all Timo Keski-Petäjä CtheMoon Observation shelter KuuMaja (MoonHut) TAL 250K*Celestron C8-N*SkyWatcher Skymax 150 Pro*TAL1(Mizar)*EQ6 Pro SynScan*Celestron Advanced GT (CG-5 GOTO)*Baader Hyperion Clickstop Zoom 8-24*17 mm UWA-70*TeleVue BIG 2x Barlow*Celestron 2x Barlow Ultima SV Series Edited by Mare Nectaris (05/18/08 01:10 PM) Post Extras:       Slow_aetk member Reged: 08/07/06 Posts: 22 Loc: Switzerland Re: Posidonius [Re: Mare Nectaris]       #2406591 - 05/19/08 05:43 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Hello Timo, Thank you for your kind words which improve the fun of sharing. This was my second session with my new TOA130. What a fantastic optic . I'm waiting for a DMK in order to improve the turbulence freeze factor.
