Lunar pictures

Hi,

Three clear evenings last week :-D
The first ones since at least two monthes. What's more, the turbulence was
quite low on the first two nights, a little bit higher on Friday.
So, I've imaged the Moon with the Toucam at the prime focus of the C8,
fitted with an IR-cut filter.
The results are here, if you're interested :
Wednesday evening :

Thursday evening :
http://images.ciel.free.fr/Eversion/Moon/Moon8d.html
Friday evening :
http://images.ciel.free.fr/Eversion/Moon/Moon9d.html

and as a bonus, a close-up of the three craters Ptolemaeus, Alphonsus and
Arzachel taken with a 2x barlow.

Next time you shot the moon, so to speak, may I request that you try to get
some images of the Aristarchus Plataeu, please? That is an especially
interesting location, one that would likely show some great detail with
your setup. TIA! If you aren't familiar with that feature, here is a link
to some images that should show you where it is located:
