Moon 18th April

Hi all,

I turned the scope onto the Moon while I was waiting for the GRS to appear on Jupiter. I think these are the best Moon images I have got to date.

All shot with DFK21afo4 on the 14" LX200 cooled to 5 degrees below ambient. I need to work out the imaging ambient temp about 8 hours in advance, if that is possible. Because the primary was so cold after a period of time it dewed up.

1= Capernicus
2 and 3= Plato
4= Clavius
5=Mare Imbrium with the pair of craters, Helicon and Verrier that are 25km and 20km respectively.
