Very clear skies this early morning offered a prime opportunity to observe and photograph a nearly Full Moon. I am please with this result, much more so that my 88% attempt several nights before. Here I used my smaller 127mm telescope over my big Dobsonian. The Mak-Cass is definitely more suited to pinpoint imaging of small, bright objects. The large Dobsonian excels at wide-field views and for locating faint stars (and planets).
Equipment Used:
- 127mm Mak-Cass telescope
- 23mm eyepiece
- No eyepiece filter
- iPhone 14 Pro
- Smartphone telescope eyepiece adapter
- Nightcap app on iPhone
- f/1.8

- Focal length: 7mm
- Minor touchups in PaintShop Pro and AfterShot Pro
