Lunar Images

These images are in chronological order, so the earlier ones were all taken through my ETX90.
All of them were taken with my Toucam Pro.

This is my first lunar image. It was taken at prime focus of my ETX90 with a Toucam Pro.
The oblong crater near the center is the Schiller crater.
16 images stacked.

This was taken the same evening as the one above, but it is a mosaic of 9 images which were taken at prime focus of my ETX90 with a .6 focal reducer. Notice the huge difference in resolution between the two.
Mosaic of 9 images, each consisting of about 20 stacked images. (roughly 200 images).

This is a closeup of the Aristoteles and Vales Alpis region. Aristotles is the large crater left of center, and Vales Alpis is a valley above and right of center. This was taken at prime focus of my ETX90 through a .6 focal reducer.
