Image Description:
I was just testing out my new JMI focuser and MPCC coma corrector and thought I'd snap a few of the moon. It came out ok, so I thought I'd post it. Check out this interesting color-enhanced version, using the technique described in How to capture the color of the Moon. It's definitely worth a look. The lunar phase here is a 70% waxing gibbous. North is up.
