Image Description:
This is my first webcam shot of the moon, using the Orion ED80 rig I used to image saturn the same night. More of an experiment than anything else. I used the Lunar and Planetary Institute's Consolidated Lunar Atlas and the Virtual Moon Atlas to figure out what portion of the moon I had captured. North is up.
