Lucky breaks and timing on this one. Missed the early clear skies but caught the late evening cloud breaks.

Managed a few shots through very light clouds. I wasn’t sure I’d get anything at all but it turned out pretty clean.

The Christmas moon! Super clear skies, but I forgot to let my telescope cool long enough to get a better shot.

Last shot for a bit! The new moon, clouds, and a deep sky project have me tapped out. This is a shot of Langrenus Crater.

Langrenus Crater has a diameter of 132km, central peaks rise to about 1km. The inner walls are terraced, which I thought at first was artifacting from bad focus and editing but it’s actually quite accurate!

Clouds interrupted the full moon but I was able to get one small corner in a cloud gap. Not bad with the haze around it.

Ya’ll, this is my best shot yet! Finally figuring out the right shooting and processing. Even got to mess around with 2x Barlow shots!
