Hi Neil. A beautiful Lunar mosaic from you. Very nice contrast, lots of surface details along the terminator, and Crater Copernicus and the ejecta rays really jump out. Thanks for sharing this fine work with us Neil, a big welcome to the TSS forum, and congratulations on receiving the TSS APOD Award today.

Thank you for the lovely comment Neil.

I am not really big into astrophotography, but I will try taking the odd Moon shot from time to time.

I do appreciate the efforts of other members though, such as yourself, for sharing their photos with us :smile:
