About this image

We had our weekly (virtual) society meeting last night with a brilliant lecture - thanks Nick - and after our meeting it cleared for a few hours so I took the opportunity to image the moon whilst watching David Arditti presenting a tour of the lunar surface - very interesting. Thanks to the BAA for their virtual lectures! It feels like COVID-19 has transformed the association.
