A view of Plato and surrounds taken on 18th February 2016

Copernicus imaged on 20th December 2015 through the 6" Refractor.  3,000 images stacked and processed in Registax6.

An image of the Sinus Iridum lunar sea as taken on 11th March 2014.  The Sinus Iridum lies on the north-western edge of the Mare Imbrium.  The two craters on the left of the image are Le Verrier (21km in diameter) and Helicon (25km in diameter).

An image of the North-Western region of the Mare Imbrium.  The large crater is Plato (100km in diameter).  Taken on 11th March 2014

The famous crater Copernicus as imaged on the evening of 9th February 2014.  Not as clear as some of my previous images of this crater, there was some high cloud passing across the Moon for a period at the time of this capture.

Crater Tycho as imaged on 9th February 2014.  As with the preceding image of Copernicus, some high level cloud was passing across the Moon at the time of capture.  Tycho is of course famous for it's very bright rays that stretch across the Moon around the time of Full Moon.  The crater itself is relatively young (108 million years) and is a shade over 86km in diameter.

Montes Caucasus & Callipus

Lieing on the edge of Mare Serenitatis, is Montes Caucasus and Calippus a 31km crater.  Taken on 21st November 2012.  Conditions were far from ideal with a only brief moments of steady seeing.
