Second Moon Attempt

[Dawesy]

After your feedback last time following my first ever moon shot , I waited for a half moon shot and got my chance this evening , didn't even notice all the tiny stars until I put it on the computer

Excellent crater detail and shadow this time! Being picky, the fringing along the limb is distracting me - can't decide if it's atmospheric due to shutter speed or simply chromatic from the lens. However it's still a great shot.

Very nice, but I'm not sure why you have stars to the immediate left of the light/darl line across the moon! Surely, the moon should be there and would be blocking out the stars!?

Agreed - nothing within the overall diameter is stellar. Anything immediately beyond the terminator could be partially lit high ridge craters but the remainder should be dark.

Re: Second Moon Attempt

Better detail this time Steve but not sure why you have a few unwanted artifacts.
I may have missed it somewhere in the post but what settings did you use on this occasion if you don't mind sharing.

Thanks Paul
