Description

Copernicus but without the Barlow, taken 7/12/2020. I'm going to let this one go un-annotated. This is the crater Copernicus, some 93 km (~58 miles) across, and 3.8 km (2.4 miles) deep. Copernicus is an easy binocular object and a delight in the telescope, formed from a lunar impact located in eastern Oceanus Procellarum. I can just get lost in the details of the ejecta all around the crater, the ridged almost stepwise walls, and central peaks. Photo taken with a Celestron CGE11, at focus (no Barlow), with a QHY5III178M camera, best 400 of 4000 frames acquired in Firecapture, processed Autostakert 3, and then "tweaked"in PS-CC. Taken July 12th, 2020. This is one picture where I'm kicking myself for not using a Barlow. Maybe next time.
