Description

While testing my new PHD2 extension for Solar and planetary guiding, I recorded an approximately 2-hour time lapse of the lunar surface. Played at high speed, it reveals the shifting shadows of mountains and craters. The extension effectively kept the Moon centered throughout the time lapse, which was unfortunately cut short due to cloud cover.
