Description

I just bought a 10" reflector, glad to have a moment of steady seeing and took this amazing shot...feels like landing on the moon

In the shot, I can only identify the following landmarks:

- Crater Moretus (114km)

- Crater Gruemberger (94km)

- Crater Short (71km)

- Crater Cysatus (49km)

By comparison and just a wild guess, small features of as small as a few km can be seen in this shot...truly amazing
