Nice capture again!
Hadn't had a change this period ... but more periods to come

Thanks Menno. You get 24 chances a year, 12 waxing/12 waning
The #25 filter seems to have improved the contrast - minimal post processing required after stacking & stitching.

Dave, your image has a beautiful texture to it. This is probably not the best way to describe it but it is *relaxing*. There is nothing stressed or strained or over-cooked about it, yet there is plenty of detail. Nice work!

Thanks Brian. With lunar imaging post processing 'less is definitely more'.
