Description

I wanted to see how well my 4 inch (10 cm) refractor could image the Moon, so I took about a hundred images of the close to first quarter Moon in January 2022 and picked the sharpest one. For this I used my B/W camera with a clear filter. The exposure time is 7 ms and the pixel size 1.3 arcsec. I think it turned out quite well. I also showed it to a friend that is very much into photography, and he liked the grey tones a lot, so maybe you like it too.
