Close-up of the Moon

Submitter: Rik ter Horst
Description: Under a beautiful and quiet sky I took this image of the Moon in the evening of April 5 with a homemade 250 mm Schmidt Cassegrain telescope and an ASI120MM camera. About 2000 frames were stacked and processed with Autostakkert!2 and Photoshop to reveal all the details hidden in the video.

The most prominent crater is Theophilus at the top, with the more flattened Mare Nectaris at the right of it. I wish we had more of these nights......
