Golden Handle of the moon … a play of light on the lunar surface, along the terminator line, visible four to five days before full moon. At this time, the high peaks of the lunar Montes Jura (Jura Mountains) are lit by sunlight. They appear as a bright arc, in front of the flat and still-dark plain of lava on the moon, known as the Sinus Iridum (the Bay of Rainbows). It, in turn, is part of the larger lava plain we call the Mare Imbrium (Sea of Rains). This mountain range spread across 422 kilometres becomes visible on the tenth day of the first fortnight between the new moon day and full moon day. The sun’s light illuminates this mountain and when the light dims, the mountain displays a golden hue. This is why this feature is called the Golden Handle. Already Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) knew of the »golden handle« and used his observations to estimate the altitude of the moon mountains – a fascinating thought *Captured on:* __Saturday, Jan. 23, 2021 *Equipment*: __Explore Scientific ED 127mm Carbon Fiber f/7.5 AirSpaced APO Triplet OTA... __Paramount MX Mount... __ZWO ASI185MC Camera.... *Processing*: __approx 2000 frames captured in SharpCap for all images __Stacked in Autostakkert3 __Wavelets in Registax __Enhanced in Lightroom & Snapseed *Location:* __Bangalore, Karnataka, India *Sky Conditions:* __Bortle Scale 7.8 __Clear Sky, 8/10 __Few surrounding village lights interference #lunar #astronomy #cosmos #planetary #planetphotography #astrophotography #astrophysics #astrophotographyindia #moonphotography #bangaloreastronomyclub #delhiastronomyclub #sharpcap #explorescientific #paramount #snapseed #zwoasi #karnataka #india © Vijay Kapoor Follow My Instagram for More pics: http://Instagram.com/lunar_mountains_climber (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/COhjs_jMUGl/?igshid=cnrna86o772l

*Saturn* isn't the only planet to have rings, but it definitely has the most beautiful ones. The rings we see are made of groups of tiny ringlets that surround Saturn. They're made of chunks of ice and rock. Like Jupiter, Saturn is mostly a ball of hydrogen and helium. *Cassini Division structures* — In 1675, Giovanni Domenico Cassini determined that Saturn's ring was composed of multiple smaller rings with gaps between them; the largest of these gaps was later named the Cassini Division. This division is a 4,800-km-wide region between the A ring and B Ring. #astronomy #cosmos #planetary #planetphotography #astrophotography #astrophysics #astrophotographyindia #saturnphotography #bangaloreastronomyclub #delhiastronomyclub #sharpcap https://www.instagram.com/p/CO7s-7SJLPa/?igshid=s9ue80zmmmvf

*Lunar Surface* *PLATO* is a lava-filled lunar impact crater on the Moon. Its diameter is 101 km. East of the crater, among the Montes Alpes, are several rilles collectively named the Rimae Plato. Plato has developed a reputation for transient lunar phenomena, including flashes of light, unusual colour patterns, and areas of hazy visibility. These anomalies are likely a result of seeing conditions, combined with the effects of different illumination angles of the Sun. On October 15, 1789, J.H. Schröter observed two bright bursts of light, each one of them composed of many single, separate small sparks, appearing on the night side of the moon near crater Plato and Mare Imbrium. In 1794, a report circulated that it was possible to see a volcano on the moon with the naked eye. *Craters:* PLATO BLISS and many more.... *Hills:* MONTES TENERIFFE MONS PICO *Captured on:* __Saturday, Jan. 23, 2021 *Equipment*: __Explore Scientific ED 127mm Carbon Fiber f/7.5 AirSpaced APO Triplet OTA... __Paramount MX Mount... __ZWO ASI185MC Camera.... *Processing*: __2004 frames captured in SharpCap __Stacked in Autostakkert3 __Wavelets in Registax __Enhanced in Lightroom & Snapseed *Location:* __Bangalore, Karnataka, India *Sky Conditions:* __Bortle Scale 7.8 __Clear Sky, 8/10 #lunar #astronomy #cosmos #planetary #planetphotography #astrophotography #astrophysics #astrophotographyindia #moonphotography #bangaloreastronomyclub #delhiastronomyclub #sharpcap #explorescientific #paramount #snapseed #zwoasi #karnataka #india © Vijay Kapoor Follow My Instagram for More pics: http://Instagram.com/lunar_mountains_climber (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/COvZzk1Jr4v/?igshid=1j6dwgbv6m0d6

Clavius is one of the largest crater formations on the Moon and the second largest crater on the visible near side (very close in size to Deslandres). It is located in the rugged southern highlands of the Moon, to the south of the prominent ray crater Tycho. It is named for the Jesuit priest Christopher Clavius. *Captured on:* __Saturday, Jan. 23, 2021 *Equipment*: __Explore Scientific ED 127mm Carbon Fiber f/7.5 AirSpaced APO Triplet OTA... __Paramount MX Mount... __ZWO ASI185MC Camera.... *Processing*: __2005 frames captured in SharpCap __Stacked in Autostakkert3 __Wavelets in Registax __Enhanced in Lightroom & Snapseed *Location:* __Bangalore, Karnataka, India *Sky Conditions:* __Bortle Scale 7.8 __Clear Sky, 8/10 #lunar #astronomy #cosmos #planetary #planetphotography #astrophotography #astrophysics #astrophotographyindia #moonphotography #bangaloreastronomyclub #delhiastronomyclub #sharpcap #explorescientific #paramount #snapseed #zwoasi #karnataka #india © Vijay Kapoor Follow My Instagram for More pics: http://Instagram.com/lunar_mountains_climber (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/COmdzfgpNjt/?igshid=j290m9bq0wj6
