Nice definition I think the images are more striking with partial shots as the contrast tends to be better in a few years you may even be able to see lights on the surface if we ever go back :D

Cheers Minos, Nick and Bruce.

The Wratten #25 filter on the SCT scope works wonders on a wobbly atmosphere.
