    First Time Mooner

    It wasn't easy but I'll figure out a way to get these in sharper at some point in the future.





    And of course the cats decided that they wanted attention when I'm trying to keep everything perfectly still.

    I love pics at this phase of the moon... Looking at the craters on the edge of the terminator almost makes one feel as though they can actually see the mountains and ridges there.

    I always did wonder what those radials coming out of the one crater are all about. Did an impact event actually crack the crust at one point?

    That's where it was attached before it was plucked off the vine.

    They are cats. That is their job.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I think they're patterns of ejecta--what was thrown out when the meteor struck. I'd recommend researching that a bit more before I went around telling other people, though.

    Oh Cool!↑
    Well, I had to go fiddle with it some more and created a more suitable tube and holder from cardboard tubes, electrical tape and rubber bands. I'm using a Meade ETX 60 and a small Nikon L4 pocket camera.

    Twilight Music?
