Captured through a 14″ Celestron Schmidt Cassegrain telescope paired with a planetary camera, this image was taken under remarkably steady atmospheric conditions. Despite the presence of urban light pollution, the clarity of the view remained uncompromised, showcasing the telescope’s impressive capabilities even in less-than-ideal settings.
This isn’t my best capture, but I love it. Yours is excellent!
Nice photo!
I appreciate your post.
Yes, I like most craters.
These are great pictures.
I like craters as well.
The moon bears the marks of numerous powerful electrical discharges.
Craters are fascinating. I particularly enjoyed the one in the southwest, likely the Barringer crater in Arizona.
Yes, I do.
I’ve never been able to resolve craters with such detail. It’s not that I can’t, but I’ve never had good enough seeing conditions.
The seeing that night was exceptional. For comparison, here’s an image from a night with less favorable conditions.
My view looks similar, but more zoomed in. I haven’t had the chance to observe the moon under excellent seeing conditions yet. Still, it’s much better than anything I’ve personally seen. My forecast doesn’t show any promising upcoming days.
Hang in there, and may you have clear skies.
Scientists dedicate entire careers to studying craters, so you’re certainly not alone in your appreciation.
These are brilliant captures—your closeup shots are incredible. I took this photo with my Nikon D500 and a 300mm prime lens two days after the full moon on November 6th in the UK.
It has a satisfying pop.
I find craters fascinating as well.
These close-ups are truly amazing. Thank you for sharing them!
This is beautiful.
Great photos! Thanks for sharing them.
I love craters because I always want to see how deep they are or if something is hiding in them. These are great!
I once dreamed of standing on the moon’s surface and looking back at Earth. What I remember most are the craters. I’ve always been mesmerized by them, and you captured them perfectly.
Where did you get those photos?
I enjoy visiting them as well.
