First light Lunar images

I was working up a new planetary scope using the moon as a test object and noticed that the Aristarchus region was on the terminator and showing much more detail than I had seen before. Seeing was ordinary, but the view was magic, with the walls of Vallis Schroteri illuminated, numerous smaller rilles and the Herodotus dome easily visible, so I put in the DMK21 with a deep red filter and took the attached image at about 4.5m fl - along with a couple of other favourites. R6 did a good job of putting the wobbly images together. Thanks for looking. Regards Ray
