Description

I got up early in the morning to catch the waning gibbous moon (56% illuminated.) I was able to get some practice collimating my scope and then captured this image of Clavius crater. This particular crater seems to be a popular imaging target.

This image is a mosaic of four panels, captured using a CMOS monochrome camera. The moon was approximately 60 degrees above the horizon when I captured it.
