Moon
The moon, a muse for music, poetry, and literature,
the farthest spot humans have ever walked
and a great subject for astrophotographers.
Moon images
The view of the moon is constantly changing and evolving. The distinct phases of the moon present themselves in a fascinating 28-day cycle, allowing us to witness its various forms over time. Additionally, lunar eclipses stand out as some of the most impressive and awe-inspiring events that can be observed in the night sky. Here are a couple of images taken during some of these truly breathtaking moments.
Lunar 100
The Lunar 100 is a list of one hundred of the most interesting features to observe on the Moon. The list was first described by Charles A. Wood in the article ‘The Lunar 100’ in Sky & Telescope magazine, April 2004. With this selection, Wood tried to give astronomy fans a list similar to the Messier catalog of deep-sky objects, but of a more familiar object, the Moon. The objects listed include craters, seas, mountains and other features, and are arranged in ascending order of observational difficulty.
L04 - Apennines
L05 - Copernicus
L08 - Theophilus, Cyrillus, Catharina
L09 - Clavius
L19 - Alpine Valley
L45 - Maurolycus
L64 - Descartes
On the very first night testing out the new Mewlon-180c, some short videos were shot of the Moon. After processing the video-files using the new software PlanetarySystemStacker, this moon image came out. Certainly a motivation to do a lot more moon photography and test the Mewlon on some of the planets.
