Day 1 of my high-resolution lunar images. This is not my image. My good friend, John Leach, has allowed me to use his image, There are very few days in a year when I may hope to see this phase from my observatory and the skies must be free of any high- or medium-level cloud. I shall keep trying. | ||

Pictures taken on 11th May 2022. The first is of the far north where Anaxagoras is a Copernican-age crater surrounded by pre-nectarian aged craters. The second is a mosaic of three images covering the same part of the southern highlands as I covered three days earlier. The third is a picture of the Carpathian Mountains, and the fourth is a mosaic covering the Apennines with the named mountains indicated in the mouseover.

I have added three new pictures from 8th May 2022. The first is of the Mare Crisium area which tries to illustrate why the unofficially named Lacus Risus Felis is significant, and is on my Proclus page. The other two are of the eastern part of the Southern Highlands. | |

I have become aware that several links on my Home page were broken, and some of the information there was out of date. In particular LTVT has been updated a lot since I wrote that page so I have written a new page describing the current (March 2022) version | ||

A new high-resolution image of the Imbrium Basin taken in IR light using my DMK camera at prime focus of my LX200. I collected twice as many frames as usual and used the drizzle technique in RegiStax to obtain higher-resolution images. The picture is a mosaic of 13 sections assembled in iMerge. | ||
|
A new picture of the north-eastern libration zone. It was taken when the libration was particularly favorable, but the lighting was a bit soft due to the phase at Day 5.4. | ||

After a gap of 16 years I have returned to the Rheita valley with this improved picture taken on 7th January 2022. | ||
