ROOISAND OBSERVATORY Moon Images SITEMAP
HOME ROOISAND
 
Most of the moon and planet images between 2004 and 2011 was taken with a Celestron 14 inch SC telescope in the prime focus, using webcam technique and "lucky imaging" with different cameras from "The Imaging Source" TIS (DMK 21/31/41). The SC telescope is a standard C14 and relatively old, but of very high optical quality. Some images are taken with the Zeiss 6" APQ telescope using the same image recording technique.
We are marking the quality of our images (subjective) into four classes, which can be found as colored little squares or circles in the overview images.

Standard Good +/- Best Favorite
  • Standard is the picture quality we are almost always able to reach with the C14/Zeiss APQ at Onjala,
  • Good is a better picture quality, but during recording of the avi file obvious seeing differences are still visible.
  • Best is a picture quality, where the C14 - in the focal recording mode driven with the DMK 31- gets close to the limits of theoretical resolution ( e.g. more than 4 craterlets on Plato, details in the Vallis Alpes rille) .
  • Favorite are the pictures we like the most. Most of these pictures have very high resolution, although that's not a necessity. Often these are pictures which show a region that is rarely recorded, have special lighting conditions or show special objects. In most of the pictures though, all of this is true.
