Hi,

I've made two new mosaics of the Moon with a ToucamPro, and this time, these
are colour pictures. First one, on the 13th day
http://images.ciel.free.fr/Eversion/Moon/Moon13d.html and if you want there
is a large version of it here
http://images.ciel.free.fr/Images_l/..._02_04_big.jpg (but it's one
megabyte

I checked out the large shot, fantastic! Even the small view is beautiful,
and detailed, I don't remember seeing such detail with my old scope back in
the 60's and early 70's, and so far have not done any moon watching yet with
the new scope.

It is so much better than the moon shots that are in my books that I feel it
would be worth printing out and using it for my map, it would certainly be a
lot more detailed. What I am going to do is bookmark this and check it out
before, and after, viewing the moon in the scope.

I really like it, every time I look at it I see things I don't even remember
seeing before.

Second one, on the 16th day
http://images.ciel.free.fr/Eversion/Moon/Moon16d.html but there was much
more turbulence, so the picture is not as good as the first one.

Still awfully good.

Do you prefer colour pictures or b&w ones ?

I like black and white more than color, at least on the moon, for some reason
it seems just a touch sharper. Besides, the moon is pretty damned gray to
begin with.
