The end of the Full Moon

A tripod mounted Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ72 bridge camera at 60x optical zoom was used to image the Full Moon. The camera was set to  ISO-100 and 1/800s exposure at f/5.9. 60 images, were precisely cropped and registered in Nicola Mackin's AstroCrop software and then stacked and wavelet processed in Registax 6.


Note crater detail starting to appear in the Mare Crisium region as the Full phase comes to an end.
