Description

Blast from the past! This was a single shot taken from my modified Canon T3i/600d through my old imaging telescope, the Orion ED80 F7.5 refractor. The Astronomy Club (BMAS) just finished doing an outreach and I decided to take the advice of Van H. McComas, if the Moon is out, image it. I normally take lunar images without filters, however, this time I used the Baader Moon & Skyglow filter in order increase the contrast. It seemed to have worked as I the shock waves coming off the crater in Tycho are much more visible than any other one-shot image during the full moon phase than I have imaged previously.
