JANUARY 2ND - 'LUNAR X'

Out from 8.30 pm to 9.10 pm in mostly 100% cloud cover to try and continue my sequence of getting a pic of the Moon started on Dec 28th, todays being the sixth in a row if I succeeded.  The  Moon did start to show a little at times when the cloud thinned, but it was always through varying amounts of cloud making the focus point and exposure vary fairly wildly.  Luckily I managed to get one frame which is sort of acceptable after processing.  The single frame was taken with my SW 80ED, AZ5 and Olympus E-M5 Mk11 at 8.52 pm (21.52 UT), 1/30 sec at 250 asa.

On the magnified focus screen it was clear the Lunar X was present.  I then thought I remembered reading something about it in the last day or so and then found the post by CentaurZ I had seen giving details of the event.

Pics below are a colour, mono and cropped version of the same single frame mentioned above.

With thanks to CentaurX for the  post.
