The image isn't too bad for a 1972 high school student with a 60 mm refractor... but my images today with a little experience, a 10 inch SCT, and a Lumenera CCD camera are a little better But I still feel a little nostalgic about the early days... even if the result wasn't much better than the first lunar photo taken by Draper in 1840 (but with a 5 inch refractor ! ).
