    Astronomy Adventure - Moon Shots


    The three craters touching each other in the middle of the photo are Theophilus (with the distinct mountain peak in its middle), Cyrillus, and Catherina respectively as you move from left to right. The large crater in the lower right if Maurolycus. If you move left and down from the three craters to just beyond the area that juts out into the Sea of Tranquility, that is the area where Apollo 11 landed and Neal Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon.



    Photos Details:

    Scope: Starblast 4.5
    Camera: iPhone 6 using NightCapPro;
    Magnification: 100x; 10mm eyepiece with 2x Barlow
