New Image: Moon Feb 25th

The weather forecast was good but the local microclimate dictated otherwise, with plenty of cloud of all thicknesses. I snapped the Moon with my Mak and DSLR at various settings, the best seemed to be 1.54 metres focal length, ISO 100 and 1/200 second exposure.

Various stacking attempts failed, so I processed a single frame.

Hi Philip. A nice single frame lunar image with your Nikon D3200 and 140 Mak telescope. Quite visible are Mares Crisium, Tranquilitatis, Fecunditatis, and Nectaris, along with several craters including Theophilus, Madler, Isidorus, Capella, and Beaumont. Thanks for sharing this fine capture with us on here Philip and keep up the great work.
