Luna, Earth's Moon As Seen Now

Here's a stunning view of our very own Luna, Earth's Moon, captured recently. It's always incredible to turn our gaze upwards and see this familiar, yet ever-changing, companion.

This image was brought to life using a Celestron Powerseeker 60AZ telescope, paired with the capabilities of an iPhone 15. The result is a remarkably sharp and detailed portrayal of the lunar surface.

A Touch of Post-Processing Magic

To further enhance the inherent beauty of the captured light, the image was carefully edited in Adobe Lightroom. This post-processing allowed for fine-tuning of details, contrast, and color, bringing out the subtle textures and dramatic features of the Moon.
