About this image

This is much smaller than the recommended setup for lunar impact imaging and I'm not sure how suitable it will be but this is a single frame from this morning taken with a Megrez 72 refractor and ASI webcam. A star of mag 10 is visible just off the limb. I could use a larger aperture but then I would have a much smaller field of view.
