Tycho and South Pole

Click over the image to slideshow the gallery

Several shots of the Moon taken through the Dobsonian Meade Lightbridge 16″ reflector telescope had been stacked into this image. I used Registax and Paint Shop Pro.

30 individual frames has been necessary to create this mosaic of Tycho crater and the South Pole region of the Moon.

It's a very cute crater. I like it!

I would like know about the crater name. Who was Tycho? Was he a astronomer? When and where does he live? And what does he do?

I guess this name is a homage to a astronomy celebrity... isn't it?
