20d 21h Lunar Phase. 2020-07-12. 03.54 UT
Aberkenfig, South Wales
Lat +51.542 Long -3.593
Skywatcher 254mm Newtonian Reflector, Olympus E410 at prime focus. EQ6 Syntrek Mount.
18 single shot frames stacked out of 31.
1/160s ISO 200 for each frame.
Processed using Autostakkert! then wavelets with Registax 6.
Final adjustments to levels using Adobe Lightroom & G.I.M.P.
Lunar south is uppermost.
It displays an interesting libration with the crater Clavius close to the southern limb and the crater Plato further from the northern limb.
It is worth comparing this image with the 20d 17h Waning Gibbous Lunar phase taken on 2023-09-06 in my Lunar Phases album. It displays how much our moon appears to wobble in its path around the Earth.
