Harvest Moon Closeup (Sept 5, 2017).jpg
The Full Moon of September 5, 2017, the Harvest Moon, as shot through my 130mm apo refractor for a frame-filling view. I used a 2X Barlow and the Canon 60Da camera. The view nicely shows the rays structures from Tycho and Copernicus, and other relatively new crateres, and the bright region around Aristarchus at upper left.
While I haven’t overly exaggerated the contrast and colour saturation here, you can still see the difference in darkness among the various lunar mare areas, due to the compositions of the lava flows that created them.
This is a single 1/125 second exposure at f/12 and ISO 100.
