Lunar imagesA gallery of 29 whole Moon lunar phase images has been set up on the BAA Lunar Section website. Manythanks to Rolf Hempel, whose images they are, for enabling us to feature such spectacular work. The gallerycan be found at: http://www.baalunarsection.org.uk/phases.htmSince April’s LSC, lunar images (or links to images) have been received from Klaus Brasch (USA), MikeBrown (York, UK), Alan Clitherow (Cupar, UK), Maurice Collins (New Zealand), David Finnigan (UK),Richard Hill (USA), Bill Leatherbarrow (Sheffield, UK). A selection of these images is featured below. Myapologies to those contributors whose hard-won work is not featured in this issue; limited space means thatonly a sample of material (with preference to BAA members) is included.Copernicus and EratosthenesKlaus BraschI have attached a modest contribution taken with my TMB-130 f/7 apo refractor and 2x Barlow on April 19,2012. I used a Canon 60Da in movie crop mode under rather good seeing. This collage consists of two setsof ~800 images each (at 60 fps) stacked and processed in Registax 6 and then merged in Photoshop. I thoughtreaders might find this interesting since this DSLR, which I use mainly for deep sky imaging, can also workquite well in the movie crop mode for lunar and planetary imaging.
