Both with 8'' f/4.4 newtonian and ASI678MC. The wider shot through paracorr at 1025mm fl, the closeup of Pythagoras and Anaximander through paracorr+2.5x barlow at somewhere around 2300mm fl. Both resized to 75% of capture resolution.

Soft seeing, Moon at 30 degrees. Not terrible, could have turned out a lot worse from what i thought the captures looked like.

Excellent!

Most of us will never get to walk on the moon, but with so many good images like these, we get close!

Stunning!

Nice images, I particularly like the second one with the cratelets.

Thanks, i do too. I am always curious as to what the smallest craterlet is in a lunar image but these ones are much smaller than what stellarium has info on, so have no clue really.
