Very windy Moon viewing

Hi I was on my way back home from a days walking in Derbyshire when I noticed the moon  and I thought that it may be possible to view it later on.

At 6 0clock the Moon was in a great position for viewing, the only problem was the wind,I first tried an 80mm ed scope the view was crystal clear in a 15mm eyepiece but the wind bounced the tube around.

I then set up my Celestron 6se and this tube had hardly a tremor.I used a 16-25 32 and 40mm eyepieces the views are absolutely stunning, there was a large 

circular crater on the terminator and after a while the central peak  was becoming illuminated the wind was increasing and I was worried that the set up may get overturned so I called it a night shame really as the Moon was great to view.
