Wolfgang Paech is one of the most dedicated astronomy photographers in this community. Employed by Leibniz University of Hannover, Germany, Wolfgang has been working on several astronomical projects, including the construction of the Rooisand Observatory in Namibia, where he has accomplished different observation tasks since 2007.

The Lunar Images we are going to blog today are pictured by Wolfgang with his DMK 31AF03.AS astronomy camera during his recent Rooisand trip between April and May.

The telescope he uses there is C14.

He also sent us a link to the web page where he has listed all the brilliant pictures with info on them:

http://www.astrotech-hannover.de/mond_web_2009/mond_start_2009.htm.

Although the page is only available in German, you can still navigate to those lunar images by clicking the links of dates. “Aufnahmen” means pictures and “Mond” means the moon in German. If you are determined to learn all words on that page, have google language tool do the translating job.

Thank you Wolfgang for those remarkable images!
