Exposure: .2 sec frames - approximately 100  frames chosen with IR filter. Best 50 frames (approx) used. Four frame mosaic.

One of two lunar targets this evening. The other target was the Wilhelm Longomontanus group.  This image shows Montes Carpatus as well as Rima Gay-Lussac and Crater Gay-Lussac (lower center), the Draper group (upper right in the plain), and the Tobias Mayer group (left). I believe the horizontal FOV is about 2.5'
