Description

From 2014-09-05 to 16, nearly half a Moon´s day over Copernicus.

Lunation 10 to 22, from 78% eastern illumination to 46% western, through the "Supermoon" perigee.

Lots going on here, most notably the changing shadows, but not only this.

Subtle terrain tone modifications, with rays, dark and luminous, appearing and fading.

I´m thinking on elaborating more over these images, there are tons of scientific papers around about the lunar soil composition on Copernicus region, some of the boundaries cited are visible with our humble backyard equipment.

Ongoing project! Criticism are welcome, suggestions too!
