Joe,
Wow, that night must have been really stable. Glad you got to experience that incredible view
I remember back in 2018 down at my coastal dark site retreat using my Televue 4.7mm SX 100 deg eye piece for the very first time in my 12” Goto dob on a clear stable night. The moon was I think around 30 to 40% waxing and the views were incredible, definitely a space walk feeling in lunar orbit and only 320x mag

I can’t image what 1000x would look like !!
It’s a shame we just can’t bottle that view and show others

Thanks for sharing your experiences

Cheers
Martin
