Lovely lunar landscape images from your big rig
My favourite is the one that feeels like your in lunar orbit with lunar horizon in the distance. You could imagine how the Apollo 8 crew felt seeing the jewel of Earth rising from behind the lunar horizon. A view that only a handful of humans have seen.I remember it as a 8 year old kid on my parents PYE black and white TV.
Thanks for posting , not enough lunar imaging on this forum , why not , it’s our closest neighbour and available all year ( be it at different phases and altitudes )
Cheers
Martin

Thanks guys! I always try to get that “viewing from orbit” feel but sometimes that’s a challenge when you’re dealing with so dynamic range. I’m glad that a few come out nicely. There’s been some really nice stable nights this last week so a great opportunity to get some lunar shots in!
