Waxing Half-Moon, Mar 3, 2009
This is a stitch-together of 5 shots, and here are the techy-stats: f/0, 1/50th second exposure time, ISO 400. I've always thought that the waxing-half of the moon has more interesting features to look at than the waning half, including the Pallus Somni, that of 6-sided sort-of-diamond-shaped plateau on the upper-left portion of the shot. It was this deatil that first jumped out at me the very first time I looked through a real telescope and I've been hooked ever since.
