Description

The waxing gibbous moon at day 12 shows off all the best of the mare, cratered highlands and diminishing terminator. South is up in my image with the ray system of Tycho reaching out from the southern uplands. Copernicus is the large crater, central right, and mare crisium isolated to lower left.

This is a mosaic of two images captured in Envisage - 70 x 0.0055s exposures at 70% quality with hard edge filter applied automatically after 10 frames - and stitched in Microsoft ICE. This is the first time I've used this fully automated program - it is so straightforward, but doubt it would be able to cope with a complex star fields or DSOs, where I will use ASTAP.
