Extreme Libration
Hi all,
It’s been a looong while since my last lunar image sending.
So much, that I’ve a backlog of images as old as 1 year and half!
The local weather here is the worst ever with 100+ days (and still counting…) gone with exceptionally poor conditions. Just incredible.
Fortunately (if I can use this term), I had time enough to process some very old images captured on Summer 2008 and never processed yet.
These 2 shots dated June 10, 2008 are showing 2 maris which seldom appear this favourable because placed close to the lunar limb.
A very favourable western libration (7.5 degs) delivered a nice view of:
Both the 2 images were hard enough to process given the very high sun angle causing a very little contrast on the lunar ground.
Hope you can enjoy them all nonetheless.
More to follow.
Thank you for your attention.
Well done Paolo! These are fantastic images, especially considering the high sun.
