Click to enlarge. I am pleased with the craters, but I ought to do better. Apparently there is a penumbral lunar eclipse tomorrow, but it doesn't appear to be visible from Yurp.

More Moon
After the sad experience of my previous effort at photographing the moon, I seemed to have improved my technique. I can now control shutter speed and have discovered digital zoom, which at 4x, with 12 on the lens, gives me a max 48x magnification. I can nearly see Neil Armstrong's boot prints. Well, maybe not. The moon really wobbles about on the LCD at that mag, so everything needs to be tight on the tripod.
