Clavius Region new
      #2400390 - 05/16/08 05:16 PM Attachment (38 downloads)

Seeing was quite good, making it easier to produce my best Clavius so far particularly with my new DMK 31AF03 camera.

Here are the settings for the camera:
Exposure: 1/30s
Number of frames stacked: 400
Gamma: 10
Number of frames per second: 15
Gain: About 400

Hi - and welcome to the forum!

What a presentation you make! Congrats for that - the DMK really delivers in good hands. It is also great that you give the specs for shooting, as many have looked for them even on this forum.

That is magnificient Clavius and surroundings! The surface texture of the Clavius crater plateau looks fantastic. In the following site you can find Mardi Clark's excellent reference pics to judge how small craterlets you are able to pick for instance from Clavius: http://cityastronomy.com/crater-sequence.htm

Also the presence in you pic is great - and the melting of the Lunar disc into space looks great!

Thanks for sharing this with us - please send more as you get them!

Be well!

Welcome to the site and thanks for the great shot. One of the better lunar images I've seen from a C8. Keep posting!
