Beautiful sight. For some reason sights like that always keep me glued to the Ep/monitor.

This appened at moon sunrise and for moments i tougth it was a star but it was only the moon moutains glowing at sunrise.The moon really never looses is appeal and i can stay focus on the moon all night.I must say this mak 127 was a surprise,a very potent scope for is size.In nights of good seeing and with a good eyepieçe the views are amazing

Hi Ahlberto, you've imaged Montes Carpatus (the Carpathian Mountains) north of crater Copernicus. It's lovely the way that small group of sunlit peaks appear to be floating in the blackness of space. Great observation, I'm glad you were able to capture it.
