Wednesday 16th January





















Hi all





Clear skys and a half Moon gave me the idea to use my 80 mm short tube Antaries Sentinal


for some high power imaging.. Used the scope plus 2 barlows stacked for a focal length of about 1800 mm.Imaged the Moon and Mars with some medium reults..Moon was ok but Mars not the best at an angular size of 14 seconds..Just a little detail...No where near as good as the 5 inch sct


The larger image of Mars was taken with the 5 Inch








Images are of Plato , The Alpine Valley and a crator North of Plato(or south not sure)
