Luna - 23rd March 2021

[vineyard]

The old moon was stunning last night & night before (cloudy here tonight).  I was visual only (BV w Telementor 2 & 2x9mm)  on 22nd but the Montes Apenninus & Eratosthenes were just amazing - Copernicus was brooding at the edge of darkness.

Wind the clock forward 24hrs, & Copernicus was out.  I set up the camera for a bit (spent most of the time visual) & here are some quick takes.

Cheers,

Vin

(PS - looking at the some of the smaller craters visible on the floor of Clavius suggests the little TM2 was resolving 5km across features w the 9mm?  I reckon it could have gone smaller had I upped the magnification & looked more closely)
