Description

This is one of my earlier images of the moon as part of an attempt to get some data with my new CMOS camera. The image is a 16 panel mosaic. The focal length is modest and only 10 frames were stacked for each image. Given these limitations I was pleased with the detail it was possible to obtain here. At the time I acquired the image, the moon was roughly 32 degrees above the horizon.
