Thursday night into the morning of
Friday I was out enjoying the 94% Waning Gibbous Moon and a few of
the planets.
I got a little up close
and personal with the moon that night magnifying quite a bit to get
this picture of Mare Crisium and other craters along the terminator.
Just to name a few of the craters in this picture are Mare Crisium, and to the right of it is Cleomedes, and Geminus; the smaller crater above Crisium is Macrobius. The two on the far right are Atlas on the bottom, and Hercules just above it.

I also did my first HDR image of the
moon, which I'm quite pleased with thanks to Rachael Alexandra for
editing my raw files before I stacked them for HDR.
Click to enlarge, you wont regret it.
I then took my 25mm eyepiece and put it
in the 2x barlow making it a 12.5mm eyepiece giving me a
magnification of 60x. I also put the dust cap on and removed the
small plastic cap to stop down the aperture a bit to make it so the
moon didn't overexpose the video. It takes down the quality a bit,
but it was the only thing that was working. This video is along the
terminator as the moon moves in and out of my small field of view.
