Great shots Mandy ..Thanks for posting them ...

Ha ha ! how do you know my name is pronounced as 'Mandy' .
This name has been used for nearly twenty years .
Most people in my place don't know how to pronounce this word . Yes , you are right . Surely called Mandy , but in written , I add the two characters 'II' , that is actually a Roman character ,representing the pillars of old architecture . Roman/Italy has many building that are make up of and supported by pillars . I used to feel comfortably the ancient European Architecture very much .

今天对照google moon目视了一下月亮,想精确找到对应的月标,也不是那么容易,更加佩服楼主! 顺便问一下,你所用的月面地图在那里找到的?比google moon的要详细,赞. 期待楼主继续上图!

几个月前偶尔在网上下载的软件，叫'Virtual Moon Atlas ' 。
不记得在那个地方下了。
那软件里的目标还可以再深入放大很多很多，他日只要我提高装备性能，便能探得更深，路便能走得更远更广阔。
而且还可以透过软件里的月坎，实际地量度望远镜拍摄系统的整体放大后的视场大小，非常实用。

作为观测对照，上述软件要比google moon易用许多，当然多媒体信息逊于google。强！

没错，就是那套软件。

If you're a moon lover check this thing out. You can help classify craters and even find newly formed craters.

I am signed up with moonzoo but felt rather underwhelmed by what was on offer. Perhaps I need to give it another chance, especially if the weather is turning wet in Shropshire.

拍月面也拍了快一年了,图片清不清好不好，这个器材是那样也只能那样了，能改善的也不多。
一分钱一分货，一分天气便一分钱，不能免强，现在该是时候搞搞新意思了。

我想加强月面地图的作用，因为我觉得月图不只能做到目前那些。
目前是观察当晚，打印月图出来，边看月图边找目标，然后把目标移到12分左右的视场的中间位置，进行拍摄纪录。
但问题是这种作法，是漫无目的地随意找目标的。
现在要加插一种玩法，要更加体现利用月图来有目的性的寻找目标的玩法，就是要予定目标拍摄。
予定指的是要在观察当晚之前的时间里，予定好要拍的位置，予定好一个目标，不能随意拍个目标便算数。
得先把月图造好，然后于当晚打印月图出来进行细致的观察和拍摄，而必需要找到拍到该目标的位置所在。
这样新做法和目前比较上来完全是倆回事的，难度也提高好多。

我的第一个目标是 Rupes Recta .
该图区的视场是11' , 和我现在用web cam 或者DSI要差不多，DSI加 2x barlow 能达到12‘， web cam 就不用加barlow 都有12'了。我不知道我现在的器材能不能解像到那条Rupes Recta的裂纹，试试看。


计划即时生效 !

English version :
My next target is Rupa Recta .
There is a crack line on the moon map .
The moon map of Rupa Recta is prepared well right now , FOV around 12' , as shown .

So next time I need to find it out this target , and move it to center of the FOV , and take image of it . It's totally different to what I did currently , currently I choose any object to shoot it , no target actually . So it will be much more challenging because I need to shoot the ONE and ONLY ONE target on my next time observation .

Let's see it , For the moment I am not sure my equipment can resolve the crack line of Rupa Recta .

作晚的Rupes Recta是在月相的阴影地区，它的位置是在图中白线标记那里 。
100倍放大的目镜里，月面非常的清晰，就是太暗没法找到Rupes Recta , 改日再来找找看。

今日台湾网上看到有人拍这个位置，中文不知叫什么，英文是Villas Apes .
这图视场是12" ，和我的web cam 差不多了，下个目标也拍拍看。

《月面观察新方向定位》

月面观察有了新的开路方向,这观察包含目视和拍摄。
可谓找到了一条长久,实实在在附合现状环境的一条宽阔的天文观察道路。
过去只有月面图，而要观察的目标是很盲目的，就是在月图上看看那里自己觉得好看，比较特别的景点，然后就按月图来进行观察。今日得到香港天文论坛里的一位资深天文观察前辈 Mr.David 的重要信息，现在可收集了更进一步的一些比较有名的月球景点资料库。这景点库就是Charles Wood's list of Lunar 100 http://www.astrospider.com/Lunar100list.htm 。

这景点库里有100个，我想日后就按这100个景点进行观察，配合现有的月面地图，预先在月面地图中找到所要观察的景点，定好月面地图的视场（一般是12分角，随器材改动），目标位置（正常是正中心）,和影像旋转角度（按牛反镜的特定方向）后，再打印月图进行观察，进行目视和拍摄，而观察的记录照片必需和原来月图的视场，位置以及影像旋转角度一致 。

我先按现在的月面观察情况来估算，一个月有一倆晚观察，一倆张的作品照片,那么最小50个月就能拍完这100个景点。也就说，光这景点库都已经能维持最小4年的天文观察乐趣了，而且是按目前的器材来算。过去是担心没天气观察，没什么好观察的天文素材，使天文的路很难走得下去，而自己又付出了那么多的心血，实在是有一点儿叹息。可现在很大程度上克服了这个问题 ! 克服了一个最基本最基础的问题 ！。


计划即日生效 ！

This was a very poor pic taken a few years ago by me.

The moon is a wonderful target. In the last week or so I took out my 18" for many times, not for saturn because it is almost the same everyday, but for the moon. Last thursday, just me and an ex-student were observing and we spent more than 2 hours just on the moon. (Of course, the moon looked stunning in 18" at around 540x with Ethos 3.7.)

It is a shame that many people don't apprecipate the moon but it is easy to see why. There are so many targets that can look very similar, and one easily get lost. A good place to start is Charles Wood's list of Lunar 100:
http://www.astrospider.com/Lunar100list.htm

For those who have apple products, 'Moon Globe' is a wonderful app to download which is useful when using on the field. I frequently use it to demonstrate to my students what they are looking at and what they can pay particular attention to. Using this on iPad would be wonderful.

什么 ！ 那张是你拍的呀？？！！

And thanks for your information on how to enjoy the moon , as well .

Cloudy Nights and US Astronomy :
<<A New highway to go on moon observation>>

This is my new plan on the comming at least 4 years time to engoy the moon in a practical ,sophistical way . In my past two years of astro activity , the local weather is not really good enough for advance types of astro-observation . Advance observation seems to be a bit too ideal in sense in my situation .Looking at the real fact in front of me , I decided to go on a way that is more sophistic , and more long lasting observation activity . That is : To collect the moon scenic spots into pictures in my comming years . That would be most probably one of my way to fully use my telescope , and the most basic way to enjoy the astronomy , under bad weathers ,and under probably even more bad weathers in the comming years of time .

There is 100 good scenic spots on the ground of moon in database of Charles Wood's list of Lunar 100 Lunar 100 . This is a good database I had found a long time for .With the help of Charles database , plus my current moon map software , I can prepare the target location map before the observation night . Fix down the map FOV( normally 12" under my telescope & camera ) , the target position and image rotation before observation .And take a picture of the certain sopts by the same FOV , position and image rotation during the observation nights .

According my current moon observation situation , one months I got 1 or 2 moon pictures , so I can enjoy the astronomy by the Charles database for at least 50 months or 4 years of time .


Plan come true Today !
