Lunar X on Christmas Eve, 2009
(Click Image For Large View)
This is a composite image sequence taken from exported Quicktime movie frames. The original movie was shot with a Philips SPC-100 Webcam and a Meade ETX 90 Maksutov Cassegrain mounted on a iOptron Qube GEM Equatorial Mount. It is real interesting to see how the terminator progresses over the "X" and towards the crater Purbach.
