About this image

Nice, clear nights often get spoiled by the Moon and tonight was no exception. After struggling to image 18th mag comets in a bright sky I eventually gave up and pointed the telescope at the Moon. My telescope/camera has a pixel scale of 0.28 arcsec unbinned and a field of view not quite large enough to get the Moon all in. This is a single 3ms exposure downsampled by 2. The full 61 Mpix image is here.

Very nice, Nick - and much less fuzzy than a comet…..
