Real nice shots of Mare Crisium. Charlie and I observed it in sunset Friday Night/Saturday morning. The terminator was further east though with some fantastic shadows across the floor and relief along the capes. Having stopped by Andrew's blog, I saw the your comment and link to the solar archives. Those are some phenomenal imgaes. As you suggested, it's time to start saving. c'ya peter Hi Vern,

I agree -- it is generally overexposed. The details on the left are washed out. There is such a wide variation between light and shadow on the terminator that finding the right combination is hit or miss, especially around 2:30am. I\'ll definitely try again, I rather like the narrow strip along the terminator.  Next time I\'ll try to go about 2 more webcam fields north and maybe 4 or 5 to the south. We\'re socked in again with clouds right now though its supposed to clear sometime after midnight. There were reports in our local astroclubs mail list of some seeing 5 - 9 meteors an hour last night. I slept in, one all nighter is about all I can manage at a time. Andrew, thanks!

GOOD JOB hope to see more!. I'm glad that you finally had decent skies for imaging.The skies here are cleaning up a little but,now we have a lot of wind.Are you going to have your scope out during the meteor shower?. Hi Vern,
