The Moon in close-up
All the shots in 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!

Move your mouse pointer over the image below to display some labels. (Patience! The key is a little large.)

The photo below captures one of my favourite regions - from Stadius to Plato, the eastern side of Mare Imbrium - The Sea of Rains.
It is composed of three frames from a webcam movie.
