About this image

As my telescope is down I have been tidying up some old images and realised I never posted one of Chandrayaan-3. So here it is, albeit a bit late. It was moving pretty fast.

The gaps in the data are where I dropped a frame or two because of a bright meteor or passing satellite.

My measurements make it mag 13.5 at the time.
