Still 'stuck indoors' with Covid, so my posts will be mostly astronomical at the moment! The waning crescent Moon is just above Taurus in the eastern sky, so easy to photograph: its southern polar crater field is amazing, with Tycho, Clavius, Maginus and Longomontanus particularly prominent. The huge ray crater Copernicus on the border of the Mare Imbrium and Mare Nubium shows its central peaks and terraced walls. Amazing to think the Moon is a quarter of a million miles away!
