Lunar Crater Einstein 2021-02-27 01.40.57 UT

Aberkenfig, South Wales

Lat 51.542 N Long 3.593 W

 

Skywatcher 254mm Newtonian, Tal 2x Barlow,

ZWO ASI 385MC.

 

4000 frames captured using Firecapture.

 

Approx. 1300 frames processed with Registax 6 & final levels slightly adjusted with G.I.M.P.

 

Lunar south is uppermost. Image captured at a near full moon. Quite good seeing.

 

For earthbound observers, a rare glimpse of this elusive lunar feature. This is not an easy target to capture as the opportunity to observe it occurs only a few times a year.
