Some Moon Shots
These are some Moon pics using my Nexstar 8se OTA, ZEQ25 mount and my ASI224MC CMOS camera and a Meade F/3.3 Focal Reducer, in some cases binned 2x2, but a lot of close up shots.

When I first started taking images, I was using my then new Neximage 5 camera. A 5 mega pixel camera, capable of great detail if used right. I took these pics of the Moon, annotated with features.
These pics were taken back in 2015.

I haven't been doing much Moon imaging lately, but here are a few pics taken with my new 120mm F/5 refractor. I took the challenge of finding the Lunar "X" feature on the Moon. Not only did I find it, I also imaged the Lunar "V", the Lunar "Cat" and the Lunar "Alligator".
