Description

I usually don't catch close-up images of the Moon, but I wanted the explore our neighbor in more detail. Turbulent seeing severely limited the quality and quantity of useful data. Also, I suspect the C14 lost collimation when coming from Venus, further softening the image and creating double edges.

I decided to revisit Montes Appeninus region without a barlow for a wider field of view. The mountains are casting jagged shadows to the west (upper left).
