Sunday Morning Moon

Hi All

The skies were clear for most of the night and took the opportunity to take some time trying to ruin my eyes by staring at the moon and capturing some images. As Mr Hough pointed out the seeing was soft, going as far to say very unsteady for my location.
Nice to be able to catch a favourable libration of the large crater Bailly and also Aristarchus under a higher illumination angle than I would normally bother with, shows the bright interior of the crater very well in contrast to the surrounds.
Capture details are 127mm North Optics refractor, HEQ5, ZWO290mc, 2X 2" GSO Barlow. Best 400 / 2000 frames processed in Registax .

Thanks for looking.
