Description

Oops, another evening, wow, the second in a row with a few cloud breaks. I abused all of them without mercy. Could not grab any gas planets for decoration. Except endurance and patience there is no means of beating clouds. Haven't tried belly dances yet though I've got a (very little) belly, but not the charm for 1001 nights.

The final image, a two-panel mosaic, shows the lunar terminator from craters Deslandres to Maginus at the left. It is centered near craters Stöfler and Maurolycus. The more popular craters Tycho and Clavius are still dreaming in the 14-days long and freezing darkness.

All images are stacks of 600 frames in mono8, 10-bit ADC, 1.5x drizzled.
