Langrenus and Petavius

Taking lunar photography is not just pointing the camera or telescope and shooting away. In lunar photography we also have to know how to choose the exact time to photograph what we want.
See for example the attached photo!
If it were taken when the sun was rising in the east (Langrenus and Petavius ​​are on the eastern edge), it certainly wouldn't do so well. At that time, the Moon would have a very small illuminated region, which causes great contrast and makes it impossible to maintain homogeneous illumination. Another factor is that the Moon at this time is always very low, which makes the seeing generally poor.
The right time to get this place (east limbo) is just after the full moon, when the sun starts to form big shadows in this region, the lighting is more uniform as well as at that time the moon is high in the sky. Likewise, if we were to photograph targets in the western limbo, the right time would be just before the full moon.
Of course, we must know that each moment is unique, each angle of illumination changes the photographed landscape a lot, we can say that even in very similar conditions a photo of the same location will never come out exactly the same as the other, because the different libration movements will make this almost impossible.
The next time you go to photograph the Moon remember, the Moon is like a beautiful maiden, there is always an angle where you will fit her best to get that great shot.
