Looks like the software made the foundation of a successful photograph

[MFloyd]

Thank you Birna 😊 Still have a lot of blurriness: I was photographing from a room with an open window on the cold outdoors; may be not stabilized enough.

I like it very much as is.  I wouldn't sacrifice the colour or the foreground for a clearer view.  And I particularly like how the light just catches the crater rims around the dark edge - two prominent ones are Pythagoras at 12:00 and Grimaldi at about 9:30.  Rain in the forecast here so I doubt we'll see it tonight.  Cheers,  John

Nice one, Marco.  Was this a single, in-camera exposure?

Here is one taken a few years ago. The speed of the moon in the viewfinder was incredible at this magnification. A minor crop of the whole frame.

Christian and Borge, your extreme closeups are amazing!  I know that the moon travels unbelievably fast even in much lower magnification (like through a 300mm lens on FX).  How long the lenses you used were?

Marco, I love this fantastical image...

Thank you Akira  Mine, 400mm, but heavily cropped i.e. up to 2000 x 2000 px from a D850 full resolution capture.

Thank you for the details.  So, it should be an equivalent of well over 1000mm!

Amazing shot...well done!

Marco and Børge, very different but both stunning photos.  Cheers,  John
