Moon With A Hint Of Colour by Gerry Aarts440 views37 x .055 seconds images at f6.3, Celestron GPS11, Meade DSI III. A slight hint of subtle greens & reds are evident in this image. Mare Crisium the "sea" on the left is some 600 km. in diameter. The little crater in Mare Crisium is called Pickard and is some 22km in diameter. Can we see the astronauts Lunar Buggy with a telescope. Not a chance not even with the worlds largest or Hubble for that matter.gerry aarts

Saturn by Gerry Aarts436 viewsSpectacular Saturn from my backyard in Cranebrook (Sydney) March 14 2007. Celestron GPS11 with 9 mil lens. Panasonic Camcorder. 30 seconds of video at 27 frames per second, 91 of 630 seperate frames (images), stacked in Registax. That works out at about one image per second out of 27 frames. That brief moment of seeing where the other frames below 85% quality were eliminated to create one good image. Pretty neat eh?gerry aarts
