Beautiful Moon...

Although the media always hypes up the various full Moons during the year, the best time to look at our satellite is almost any other time! The oblique sunlight at first or last quarter phases throws the surface into strong relief: even a small telescope will reveal a wealth of fascinating surface features: the huge, ancient crater Janssen showed up well on the terminator (margin between light and dark)

These photos were taken last night using just a 300mm lens
