30-01-15 Plato to Copernicus region on the Moon
This Moonshot was taken with a AZ4 mounted Skywatcher ED100 Refractor with a Canon 60D at prime focus ( 900mm ). This image was merely cropped and enlarged from the original full disk image posted earlier. I will get much better results if I use the Canon 60D's video crop mode at 640x480 pixels at 60fps next time, but that would entail mounting on my HEQ5 or NEQ6 mounts for tracking, which is usually time consuming and sometimes causes missed opportunities due to changeable weather :-)
