Hi Alberto,

Thanks for the interesting project idea. 

I am afraid if I ever experienced six hours of good seeing, I will be flying with a harp in heaven! But I will keep it in mind should I encounter such a fine night on earth.

best wishes,

Alan

Hello to all,

i recently added 2 files in the Lunar section.

One of them is an anaglyph to be watched with red/cyan 3D glasses:

Anaglyph-SouthPole 3000x2000.jpg 

I'm wondering about doing some anaglyph starting from high-end quality images like Alan Friedman ones... :-)

Maybe Alan could kindly take a wonderful detail (like the delicious Plato or Copernicus i can see on his site ) 3 hours before the meridian transit and 3 hours after that transit....pleeease!!

I guess  that 6 hours-difference  could be enough to reveal the internal 3d structures of the craters but i'm not sure of that.

The sine-qua-non condition is to have the very best image quality and the most similar settings (exposure, contrast etc) for the 2 images.

I attempted to get single craters images but my quality was not enough even because i found bad seeing in almost one of the 2 shots (yes you need 6 hours of good seeing).

The other file added is a Moon mosaic grabbed with my C8. 

I printed a 70x100 cm poster of it:

kind regards to all

Alberto

PS: i did some experiment with DMK on well known DSO (M51) not guided: really interesting results.
