Here a few moon shots a took the other night, not the best seeing conditions and was taken through the upstairs window as the cloud was rolling in and didnt think i would have time to setup. Not sure what any of the craters are called so would be glad of any info.

The shots were taken with a Phillips webcam through a 127mm Mak Sky Watcher.

Not too bad at all, considering you took them from indoors, not the best place for imaging due to the turbulence caused by the warm air rushing out through the window. :(

However, you have a great setup for imaging the moon, the 127 Mak and a webcam. Under better conditions you can improve on these a hundred fold. I also know the conditions are never as we would like them, so we do the best we can, and better to something than nothing.

The time will come when you have good conditions, (Don't ask when. :mrgreen:)and your kit will supply some cracking Lunar images.

Below a couple I have anotated for you.
