In orbit around the Moon!

Lights from ... the Waning gibbous Moon

Here is a pretty detailed view of the northern region of the waning gibbous moon, photographed on July 19, 2017 from the educational platform of the Astronomical Observatory of Strasbourg (France).
Despite the average seeing, quite normal for an urban area, the amount of details is interesting.

The narrow field of view is caused by the long focal length of the tube : 3 910 mm (2737 mm with the x0.7 focal reducer) and it could remind use pictures of lunar probes capturing the surface of the moon during the cold war.

Technical Details....

Schmidt-Cassegrain C14 Edge-HD telescope + x0.7 reducer + CCD QSI 632 camera (2T36 module)
2 images of 1/300 seconds superimposed with registax.
