Moon on Feb 24th

[John W (John Wilkinson)]

24th Feb. Woke up this morning at about 5 am and decided to take a pic of the Moon thru my Meade LX600 scope. Often difficult at this time since one is half asleep. Two shots are shown here, both non-cropped, single exposures with a Canon 550d camera. First pic shows Schiller, Schikard craters near Mare Humorum (SW limb of Moon) - you can even see around the edge a bit.
Second pic shows Kepler crater with its bright ray system (centre). Copernicus is to upper left. Thanks for viewing.

That's great detail for single exposures. Nice one

Nice views esp. of this side of the Moon. I think this date was one of max. libration SW limb. Thanks for the pics.
