Not the best image ever posted here BUT I did this with a handheld afocal shot through the dob with a 26mm Meade series 4000 lense and an Olympus mju 300 and the zoom set at 3x. I can't believe the detail here with this primitive setup, the image is just cropped from the original and despeckled in Photoshop.

I just can't wait till my bracket for the camera turns up to get rid of the shaking problems.

A very nice afocal shot there Rob. Quite a dramatically illuminated lunarscape along the terminator, with the big foot print of Schiller.

Cheers

Nice one!
Was Schiller a grazing hit or is it two craters joined together?

Nice one Rob! I think Schiller is a grazing hit, though i'm not 100% sure.

I think it is accepted that it was a grazing hit.
