A few close up moon shots.

The atmosphere was pretty steady last night and I have several shot of the same surface features of Mars so decided to shoot the moon.

You weren't kidding about closeups - these look like the shots the astronauts took while in orbit.

Wow these are incredible images

Thanks Alan, I wasn't in space at the time it was just my backyard.

These are so awesome! One day I want to capture images like this, though that's probably 2 or 3 years down the road. I like both types of images you captured here.

What camera and scope combo is this?

This is the same I use for planets. celestron 9.25 Edge with a 2.5 Powermate and the asi224mc camera. I use Astrosurface to do most of the processing and do the final tweaking with Topaz Denoise or Sharpen and Affinity Photo.

Chuck,

Wow, these are terrific! LOVE the details, seeing must have been excellent as you said. All are nice, the extreme limb shots are dramatic, but I slightly favor the view in #3 and #5. Seems like #5 is ever so slightly clearer - that is one crackin' shot! Great set, very inspirational, I guess I gotta find a way to get my edge 9.25 set up for planetary.

Thanks Mike, the one good thing about astrophography in Florida is the steady skies. I hope you can get some good solar system shots with your 9.25.
