Hi, all!
Tycho is a prominent lunar impact crater located in the southern lunar highlands…Tycho is a relatively young crater, with an estimated age of 108 million years…The ramparts beyond the rim have a lower albedo than the interior for a distance of over a hundred kilometers, and are free of the ray markings that lie beyond. This darker rim may have been formed from minerals excavated during the impact. (Source: Wikipedia).
Images caught with afocal method. Digital camera in [NORMAL PICTURE] mode, shutter speed 1/10”, F 2.8, focal length 4mm and ISO 400. Images processed with RegiStax6 (52 pictures) and retouched with Fitswork4. I’m a rookie with Fitswork4.
Location: Cagua, State Aragua Venezuela (N 10° 11' 24.00" W 67° 27' 36.00"). Date: Jun 4, 2015. Hour: 22:59 (03:29 UTC) ── 23:05 (03:35 UTC).
Equipment: Telescope reflector aperture 114mm (4.5"), focal length 900mm, eyepiece (1.25") 13mm and Moon filter.
Thanks for looking
Edison
