It was a sweltering day in Los Angeles--and the bright sun, beating down on the city did not encourage photographic explorations. So I waited for nightfall and was awarded with a near full moon and a cool night air. Setup the telescope and admired the moon--but it was so brilliantly white that I did not expect to bet any usable shots. I removed the 2X extender and just used a 1.4X, so I was working at about 980 mm focal length. The moon did not fill the frame of the camera so when posting the image...
