MAY 29TH - MOON 47.3%, 7.16 DAYS

[paulastro]

I had a fine session from 9.30 pm to 11.20 pm with the SW 120ED. The seven day Moon showed  fabulous detail all along the terminator.  Walther was particularly well  placed showing a lot of floor detail with particularly good terminator detail to the S limb.  In the N, the area from the Alps, S to the Caucasus Mtns and on to Rimae Hadley showed incredibly fine detail.  The seeing was particularly good and steady for minutes at a time so most of the time was spent using my binoviewer.  I took a single frame, below, but it does poor justice to the real thing.  The pic was taken at 10.29 pm, SW 120ED, Olympus E-M5 mk11, 1/200 sec at 400 asa.  The crops are from the same frame.

Best regards
