Thanks for the kind comments guys, the reason to post the photos is the same as I've said previously. You don't need top line telescopes etc, to get acceptable images, though obviously not much wrong with the gear that was used. The moon and Jupiter were taken with with an 150mm Saxon Newtonian on an old EQ6, the camera is an ZWO 290mc. The run of clear nights & days with some good seeing rally helps.
When I look at the Aristarchus shot again, it does give an impression of flying over the lunar surface, similar to movies taken by probes in lunar orbit. Should add that I've been pleased with the results from some of the imaging sessions lately, that's why I thought they may be worth sharing.
