this is a very good pic, i know from the pics i take of this phase, the moon is hard to capture.

Thanks Pete.

I was hoping to get a decent 'Moonshine' image at the time, but

after taking 60 shots I decided on this one. Not bad for a small,

inexpensive scope, which I use for guiding.

Nicely done! Good job on the delicate contrast of the maria in difficult lighting.
