About this image

My dedicated astrophotography camera is in for repair so I've fallen back on the Nikon D750 - far from ideal. I wanted today to record Mare Crisium, centre right, site of Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost I landing next to Mons Latreille this morning. Last shot as it got dark and before the Moon disappeared behind a neighbouring roof.
