Thanks Jackie.
Believe it or not, the view looking through the telescope itself (without the camera), is even better!! Since I shoot "Prime" with my DSLRs and a telescope's magnification level depends on the size of the eyepiece, you can actually get a closer view of the moon than what ya see in this shot.

Of course, atmospheric conditions always have the last say in any star-gazing.
Humidity & haze can be as much of a PITA to viewing as clouds. Humid air is not only denser, but the water particles diffuse & scatter light.
The various layers of the atmosphere stack up and act like a gigantic gaseous lens, constantly shifting around...
in fact, that shifting around is the most common reason the stars seem to twinkle.

That night was pretty good though.

Thanks for ing this too!
