41% First Quarter Moon 18/05/21

First time out lunar observing using the Altair Lightwave 9mm LER 1.25 inch 55° Planetary Eyepiece. This ep presented a great 79x full disc through the Starwave Ascent 102ED f7. Combined with a GSO 2.5x 3 element barlow gave a very relaxed and clear 197x view too.

79x through the 9mm with a hand held Samsung S6. A single frame and cropped.

Very crisp for a smartphone!

Yea thanks. Handheld in a light breeze isn't so easy, and the illuminated limb is a little over exposed, but the details on the terminator I wanted to capture turned out OK.
