Description

06 Feb 2020 - Moon waxing gibbous, 2 days off full.

I tried various areas on or near the terminator, with and without x2.5 Barlow. I think this image of Aristarchus, Herodotus and Schröter's Valley was the most interesting of the bunch.

I particularly like the terraced walls that can be seen on the LHS and top of the Aristarchus, and the central peak, classic complex crater features. In Schröter's valley there is evidence of the rille on the floor of the valley.

Gear:

- Celestron Edge 9.25 on CGX

- x2.5 Barlow

- ZWO ASI 120MM

Processed in AutoStakkert 3 with 6% of 3025 frames - lots of atmospheric turbulence !
