Description

Earth's Moon imaged a day before supermoon. The night of supermoon winds were 20 mph so I was unable to image; but did see outside its enormous brightness.

This was imaged with an ASI 174mm camera using its higher resolution settings ; but did drop its frame rate way down on my computer at 10 FPS. I am told you really need to be using an SSD drive USB 3.0 to get it going ; although at 640x 480 without anyone else on the net I was able to go at a blistering 128 FPS.

Many craters are depicted throughout the image with Plato toward the bottom. I'll need to get out some good charts I saw on the net to try and identify some of them with labels on an update.
