I also observed the Aristarchus plateau, a very interesting area, with the big Schroter Valley. On the image I shot you can see the Schroter Valley as a thin light line winding over the Aristarchus plateau. The Moon: detailed image of the Mare Fecunditatis area On April 27 I added a detailed image of the Mare Fecunditatis area to the solar system section. By scrolling the mouse pointer over the image, you can identify the names of the different features. Equipment: EQ6 A fellow astronomer built me a set of wheels for my EQ 6. In the weblog you will find a short description and some images. Sunspot 0756 On Sunday 1 May I observed the big sunspot 0756. Images can be found in the weblog.

My current weblog has been hacked several times and the comments got stuffed with SPAM. The new weblog will be build in Expression Engine and the safety standards will be much higher. In the near future you will be able to give comments again. I hope to present the new weblog within a few weeks. Clear Skies to all of you!
