Superb first shot

[spaceboy]

That is a truly stunning image. Perfect exposure and a wealth of detail

[MY Yau]

thank you all for the praises. still working on guiding. hard to get rough polar alignment without polaris.

It's just wonderful! At this phase the Moon is very interesting. The terminator is well placed for a spectacular display of craters and Tycho and its rays are prominent at the same time. A very good exposure too!

You did a great job.

This is going to sound a stupid question but is that how the moon looks to those in Malaysia ? I actually like the orientation in your image but it looks lop sided to what I'm used to seeing in the sky.

You should see it from Australia. Completely the wrong way up. Dont even get me started on Orion. Not that ive ever been to Oz. Ive just seen images. Furthest south ive been is the Canary Islands (or the Tunisian Sahara........not sure which is further south) and things there start to look very differently orientated, even though the islands are well within the northern hemisphere.

Yes it is weird.  I was in Grenada at the beginning of the year and its odd having the moon go directly over your head and being lit up from a 'funny angle' !

[spaceboy]

Well I don't know about you guys but personally I think it looks great with a horizontal terminator. Maybe if my 6 numbers come up one day I'll get to see it in this orientation.

Lovely depth and detail. Thanks for sharing

it's not the natural orientation. i rotated the camera so i can fit the width of the sensor to the width of the moon.

Oh! OK....... I would still go to Malaysia if my numbers came up to see the moon anyway it just means I will just have to settle with rotating my head to get the same view
