This image of a section of the moon was taken on our first moonwatch event on 2nd April. After processing the image we were able to identify craters smaller than 20km in diameter. The area of the moon on view shows the sea of tranquility, sea of serenity and the sea of vapours. The smile on the moon is created by the shadows of the apinninus mountains.
Our telescope was a gift from the Society for Popular Astronomy and the camera was funded by Liberton High School Association. The astronomy club would like to thank both organisations for enabling us to have access to such good equipment.
