Observation Info

Imaging Info

- Date/Time: 2008-06-22 / 0448 MDT

- Camera: Canon XSi

- Location: Fort Collins, CO

- Scope/Lens: TMB 175 f/8, 1400mm

- Limiting Magnitude:

- Optical path: AP Barcon 1.88x for f/15 2632mm
- Seeing: - Filter(s):
- Transparency: - ISO Setting/Film: ISO 200
- Temp./Wind: - Exposure time, #: 1/85s

NOTES:

Seeing was adequate to add a barlow to frame the crater-pocked field S from Tycho. Swarms of Craterlets shimmered into view at times on the strip between Mare Nectaris and Rupes Altai. The Mare looked awash with its concentric waves. After RAW to TIF, only slight crop, denoise and slight levels boost in PS CS2. Seems to have less chroma noise at ISO 200.
