More Lunar images with the
Questar

Uploaded 6/16/13

 

      
This first set of images
      is at prime focus with the DMK51 camera. Exposure time at the
      native f/14 of the Questar was still relatively fast, on the
      order of 1/200 second and the seeing was poor but frozen here.
      The lighting was perfect for revealing the deep shadows near
      the terminator and a new perspective on normally flat lit features!
      All images reproduced here are reduced from the 1600 original
      size to 1290 long.

      
Here we see the Southern
      Highlands

Here are a few shots with the barlow flipped in yeileding around a 2800mm EFL. The seeing was so bad that some of the images were not presented here, however a few came out very nice as seen below:
