Moon

Waxing Gibbous

Copernicus Crater with Montes Apenninus

Tycho and Clavius Craters

I was able to get out for a short time on the evening of December 12 to do some moon shots.  The top photo was un-magnified, except that provided by the telescope itself.  The bottom two photos were taken through a 2x Barlow lens nested into another Barlow 2x lens for 4x magnification.  Tracking at this level becomes much more important and I had a lot of images I just couldn't use because I hadn't switch the mount over to Lunar tracking from sidereal.  I look forward to making another attempt soon!
