Description

Ladies and gentlemen of the night,

Here is a close up to Gassendi crater from the 3rd January 2023 when I built this mosaic:


Moon mosaic 2023-01-03 Mak 180/2700 HD


It was shoot directly without behind a maksutov 180/2700 with my QHY290 III and a 23A filter.

The altitude of the Moon was 61º and it certainly explains, together with the red filter, that the quality is much better than my first picture taken 2 years ago:

Ami.e.s de la nuit,

Voici un portait du cratere Gassendi du 3 janvier 2023 quand j’ai construit cette mosaique:


Moon mosaic 2023-01-03 Mak 180/2700 HD


Il a ete pris au foyer du maksutov 180/2700 avec ma QHY290 III et un filtre 23A.

La hauteur de la Lune etait de 61º ce qui explique, sans oublier le filtre rouge, que la qualite soit bien meilleure que my premiere image prise il y a 2 ans:
