Part of the full moon taken this morning. Single 1/100sec exposure at ISO 100 with Canon 600D on Celestron C11 with 0.8 reducer. Effective focal length 2240mm at F/8. Some sharpening and contrast enhancement applied. I have other pieces for an eventual mosiac.

That's right, not until 2049 - I captured a rare event :cheesy:
It's a nuisance that the other parts of the mosaic did not come out nearly as well - either the seeing deteriorated or tube currents started up inside the C11.
