The Moon imaged from Redenham
The large crater just above and to the left of centre is "Ptolemaeus" it is 153Km in diameter, below it is "Alphonsus" which is 118Km in diameter . To the left is "Mare Nebium" The sea of Clouds.
This image was made using a Phillips ToUcam CCD webcam and adapter to fit the web cam into the eyepiece of a Mead ETX125EC telescope. The image processing software was K3CCD which can be found at …http://www.pk3.host.sk/Astro/….. although this was a single un-processed image.

Saturn imaged from Redenham
This image was made in far from ideal seeing conditions with mist forming. Saturn was at a distance of about 770,000,000 miles at the time.
This rather fuzzy picture of Jupiter was taken with clear but very turbulent skies so no detail is visible on Jupiter. However it clearly shows three of Jupiter’s moons, From the left Europa, Io and Ganymede.
