21 day old Moon


Mosiac made from 2 images, each a combination of 10, 0.02 second exposures.
SBIG STL-1001E CCD. 20" f/6.8 Dall-Kirkham cassegrain telescope at prime focus.

The 21 day old moon. The CCD was badly saturated on the brighter regions, however I like the way this image shows the Straight Wall as a bright streak instead of the more commonly observed dark line, which is how it appears when the Moon is waxing.
