With the half moon phase the shadows on the edge are superb.

Perfectly exposed and beautiful detail Bob. The optics in the larger 105 and 125 are very nice and as you've shown are solid Lunar imaging scopes. Have you tried any planetary shots yet?

Oh yes, I don't bother shooting the full moon for this very reason. Lovely shot.

Shooting the full moon is a hard challenge ! Trial and error and lots of images !

Outstanding in sharpness and exposure! But flip vertical so it'll be right-side up.
