This shot was taken through an 8" f/6 telescope. The magnification is roughly 50x. It is best to view (as well as photograph) lunar detail when the Moon phase is not full because shadows from craters and mountains are evident. Can you find the mountain chain known as the 'Appenines' in this photo? -- photographer, Eric Honeycutt.
