The Moon in close-up
All of this series of moon closeups were taken with a 90mm (1250mm f.l.) ETX reflector telescope with a CCD webcam positioned at its prime focus. This yields the approximate equivalent of a 13 metre telephoto lens on a standard 35mm camera!

Each photo in this series features a key photo (below it) giving the names of the principal visible features.
