My First Lunar Snapshot: From Anost to the Cosmos!

Hello fellow stargazers!

I'm thrilled to share my very first astrophotography post here. This image of our magnificent Moon was captured from Anost, France, using my trusty Lumix GX9 mounted on a 254/1200 Dobsonian telescope.

As I'm just starting my journey into astrophotography, I'm eager to hear your thoughts, insights, and any tips you might have for improvement. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Acquisition & Processing Details:

  • ISO 200
  • 1/1000s exposure
  • Image captured in Black and White directly on the Lumix GX9.

Here's the shot:

Thank you in advance for your feedback, and may you all have clear skies!
