Here is a afocal picture I took last night while playing around with a f6.3 corrector/reducer. It was just nice to get outside and peak at luna for a little while, it has been way too cloudy lately...

Really nice afocal catch! I especially like the way the darkness of the space grabs the good old Moon by the edge... impressive pic!

Thanks for sharing this with us!

Be well!!

Very nice...

Clavius is one of my favorite spots to look at.

I sometimes gets the impression the Moon is dissolving into space along the dark limb. Although I suppose a more appropriate illusion - for the waxing Moon - would be that it is reconstituting itself.
