Description

This was kind of a throwaway shot. The moon was washing out any possibility of decent deep space photography, so I pointed the 'scope and CCD camera at the moon to see if I could get anything. At 1/1000 sec exposure and with telescope end-cap on (but the small inset cap removed), this resulted. Anything more was completely overexposed.

Even with such a short exposure there was considerable movement (the mount was on sidereal-rate tracking). Nonetheless, I'm happy with the contrast and detail.
