The windy but clear weather made it tempting to check out what Mars looked like when it was high above the horizon. The equator was now located in the center of the planet's disc. In the opposition of 2020, the planet served the southern hemisphere. Now the north is also visible. The carbon dioxide misty frost of Kalot colors the area in shades of gray - blue and white. In the picture, the dark area in the north is Mare Acidalium and the southern one is Mare Erythraeum. Sinus Medii is turning into a shadow. North is at the top of the picture. Due to the small angle diameter, I used a 5x ba...

Just before the maximum, I got the rascals stretched and ready to shoot. Here in western Finland, the eclipse was visible cloudless from beginning to maximum. The final stages are partly filtered by the cloud cover and the final itself is still relatively good. There were interesting almond clouds on the southwest horizon and part of the session was spent recording them with a digital camera.

During the solar eclipse, interesting cloud formations flew in the south-west direction. This picture is a combination of two separate exposures mainly to document the atmosphere. I first shot a wide view of the cloud horizon with building silhouettes and zoomed into the sun with a focal length of 200mm and took the second picture through the astrosolar filter (mylar film). away from the sky around the sun and adjusted the blue-gray shade of astrosolar a little more reddish. The sun and moon are a little too big compared to the background of the picture, but at the right time and in the right ...

Jupiter in moderate weather conditions.

So far the best weather in my Jupiter sessions. I first shot a black-and-white clip with ir-longpass and then with a color camera with ir-cut filter. Longpass brings out the details better. I used Photoshop to add just the color layer from the latter shot.

Jupiter had a "Spotcast" broadcast going on. Something stuck in the pictures, even though the weather was constantly changing from miserable to avoidable and sometimes offering moderately good. The morning before sunrise would probably offer the best seeing, if you could manage to stay awake/wake up:

The double crater Boussingault in the eastern part of the South Pole is a good fixed point for orienteering in the area. It has a diameter of 131 kilometers. At the bottom of Helmholz, to the left of Boussingault, is a straight ridge like the hand of a bell. Thanks to the ligation, the re-embankment of the Hale Crater behind Boussingault can be seen, but the bottom is not. In the picture, the south is at the top. A strong wind disturbed the otherwise good weather.

I was still visually inspecting the AR 2993 & 2994 group in the evening. The sun was already low, but the views were interesting, so I took a few pictures.

Pythagoras is located near the north pole of the moon. It has distinctive terrace-like embankments such as Tyko and Copernicus. The diameter of the crater is 130 km. The central mountains cast long shadows through the bottom of the crater all the way to the curb. The philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras (580-500 BC) "shaped" a flat earth into a sphere. (No one has to worry about falling over the edge anymore;)

This massive crease is in the footsteps of the birth of Mare Orientale. In the background is a similar formation per Inghirami crater. The terrain of the area is very complex, picking up a bit like the surface of Ganymedes in the moon of Jupiter. (This can be examined in more detail in the LROC sonar images). In the picture, the south is at the top.

Gassendi, located on the northern edge of Mare Humorum, is a destination rich in detail. Now the lighting was just right and good for exploring this 110km diameter crater. At the bottom is the intricate crack network of the Rimae Gassend. In the picture, the south is at the top

A few picks from six sessions from March 13th to March 18th. Pretty bright but restless weather. Sinus Iridium and Plato were recorded in fairly good conditions. Others avoidable.

Rima Hyginus This 220km long Rilli is located on the southern edge of Mare Vaporum. In the middle of the ridge is the Caldera - about 9km in diameter. Probably a volcanic formation, as it does not show edging ramparts that would rise above the surrounding plateau. A chain of at least 12 craters is visible in the gorge branching from the caldera to the northwest (upper left). The chain is probably the result of a collapsed lava tunnel, or they are smaller discharge openings.

Hausen Hausen, located on the edge of the west-southwestern vibration zone, appears intermittently disappearing from time to time on the dark side. The diameter of the crater is 167 km. In the middle of the stepped curbs there is a complex cluster of peaks. The picture shows a gorge that divides the cluster into two parts. It is interesting to explore the area using a 3-D globe / QuickMap compiled from LROC sonar data. Especially with the Fly around function, you can adjust the flight altitude and marvel at the complex structures of the mountain slopes, such as the giant cliffs that have rolle...

Dawn with Bailly on Saturday night. Near the south pole of the moon is the western edge of one of the largest craters on the visible side. The 303-mile Bailly is an old but handsome revelation when the lighting is appropriate. In the picture, the sunlight has already reached the peaks of the western rampart while the bottom is still in the darkness of the night. https://lakeudenursa.fi/kuvitus/upload/2022/01/16/20220116222129-844f5adc.jpg

The moon was high in the southern sky and the weather was better than usual. As the sun set on the eastern edge, Langrenus 130km (left) and Petavius 177km (right) offered dramatically rugged views and plenty of detail. r https://lakeudenursa.fi/kuvitus/upload/2021/11/22/20211122162724-7c6baee8.jpg

Partial eclipse. I was late twice during this session. At the beginning 5 minutes when I forgot myself over the tuna bread and in the middle of course I stopped at the camera on just as the passenger plane rushed over the sun disk. (It's nothing #! #). Otherwise, the people also prefer Finns.
