Ad Astra Observatory

I tried out some high-resolution lunar photography. With the C9.25 and the NexImage (including the ever-present 2x Barlow), I have a FOV of about 2′, so it’s strictly for “craters”, rather than “full disc shots”.

This is a view of the moon that I don’t often get. It was fun to find old favorite craters and see them close up.

This is Aristarchus, the “bright white” crater near Copernicus and Kepler.
