< Previous Next >We are having constant twilight here already and all sensible imaging targets are moon and bright planets. Copernicus was nicely lit, so I tried photographing it with different focal lenghts. Seeing wasn't the best, but I am still quite satisfied with the result. Colongitude 28.6° Phase 61.5°
