This is a single frame of hundreds I took last night around midnight - I've got a lot of processing to do!

Canon 350D on Celestron C11 with F6.3 focal reducer.
1/1000s at ISO 200.

This is full frame (the moon doesn't fit in a single frame) but binned down to a smaller size and then contrast enhanced and slight colour saturation enhancement also.  A bit of deconvolution as well.

The moon still has visible crater shadows around the edge because there were 6 hours to go before being full moon.

     Rose would like to know why the moon looked sooooo large last night ... the night you took your image, Mark.  Was the moon at at near point near the earth or was it something to do with the libration?????

     All you knowledgeable people can now please reply.

     Thank you, peeble.

     Doug .......... for Rose as she ain`t sure how to operate this thingy, anymore than I am, like putting pix on the Forum, etc, etc etc.  :roll:

That will be good Mark. I had software problems so had to go in, although the Moon was behind a tree most of the night

The Thing

I was out until 2:30 and should have full Full Moons, Mars as a red dot (didn't take the reducer/flattener out) and M81, though the dew shield had filled up with snow by 5:30am went I went out to check on things so I don't know how many subs I got.

Nice pic Mark, can't wait for the final.

I got sidetracked by beer in the beer garden until my bits went numb  :(
