Lunar craters

[Starwiz]

So, on Sunday night I checked the jetstream forecast and it looked good, so I set up in the garden and waited for Mars.  

Mars turned out to be a disappointing shimmering wreck lost in the glow of a nearby streetlamp.

 In the meantime, I grabbed this image of the moon.

Nice shot. Well done!

Brilliant image, what camera and camera settings did you use and is this a single frame shot or stacked image?

Hi Yamez,

It was taken with my ZWO ASI120mc camera and Skywatcher 200p.

I've shown the camera settings below.

I took 1000 frames then stacked 600 of them in Registax, before playing with the wavelets to sharpen it up a bit.
