An Even Better Photo of Last Night's Moon!

I'm thrilled to share an updated and significantly improved photograph of the Moon from last night's celestial display. After going through all the shots and applying some dedicated editing in Adobe Lightroom, I found a particular image that truly captures the lunar landscape with remarkable clarity and detail.

The Moon captured with Celestron Powerseeker 60AZ and iPhone 15, edited in Adobe Lightroom.

This enhanced version highlights the subtle textures and craters of our nearest celestial neighbor, a testament to the power of both good equipment and skillful post-processing. The Celestron Powerseeker 60AZ telescope, combined with the capabilities of the iPhone 15, provided a solid foundation for this shot, and the meticulous editing process in Adobe Lightroom brought out the best in the data.

It's always rewarding to revisit raw captures and discover hidden potential. I hope you enjoy this even better glimpse of the Moon!

What do you think of this improved shot?
