Copernicus Crater Polarized
Copernicus is the crater with rays in the middle of this image. The Lunar Sea, above and to the left of Copernicus is Mare Serenitatis.
I usually don't use a polarizing filter on moon images. however, I was experimenting. Really makes for a dramatic image.
Photographed 4 11 2012 at about 5 a.m. MEADE ETX-90 telescope, Sony 7 megapixel camera, 32mm eyepiece.
Tweaked slightly in Photoshop Elements 9.
Waning Gibbous, 71% illuminated.
