Statio Tranquilitatis

[Nik271]

Apologies if this has been done a 100 times before, but I just couldn't resist.

Last night the seeing was so-so. I shot a few minutes of video of the Moon with my Skymax 180. This morning I realized I have the area around the Apollo 11 landing site. Armstrong Collins and Aldrin craters are visible and staring at the pixels I think I can just make out a faint smudge where Cat's Paw is supposed to be. I put a cross where Apollo 11 landed (I think.)

Quite thrilled to be able to spot something like this from my back garden

Very nicely done. And even if it was the 1000th time, I’d still enjoy the view. Thanks for sharing.
