Waxing gibbous Moon with Straight Wall 3.12.11

[Ju_Cooper]

This whole Moon shot was captured last night. 11 DSLR (Canon EOS 450D) shots 1/100s ISO100 prime focus Sky-Watcher 150 Explorer Newtonian registered and integrated in PixInsight. Wavelet sharpening in Registax 6. Final processing in Photoshop with colour blend layer from one of the original raw files with increased saturation. The Straight Wall is visible near the terminator.

Also did some stacked afocal video of the Straight Wall:

Mosaic of 4 stacked images from afocal video on Canon Digital Ixus 800IS. Sky-Watcher 150 Explorer Newtonian. Processing in Registax 6, AviStack 2 and Photoshop

...will try to get a better shot next clear night.

Unfortunately, it becomes much more difficult to see because the sun angle is too high to cast much of a shadow. Next best bet is near last quarter when the "cliff-face" is brightly illuminated by the sun as in the left image on this page. Good luck with it!

Looks like the night 17-18 December near last quarter and the night 2-3 January (day or so after first quarter) are the next best.
