Waxing Cresent

 

Tonight has been fun. I have replaced the finder scope with a red dot finder and this has improved things considerably. It weighs much less than the finderscope so i had to rebalance the scope ready for tonight.

I didn't think i was going to be able to go out tonight but we got a few breaks in the cloud which made it worthwhile.

It has seemed like forwever since the moon was up in the sky, so i thought i would have a play with the phone adapter. It was simple to use though my photography skills are severely lacking.

Though this photo does not show it, i manage to find an interesting feature using high power. The feature i found looked a little like a landslip above a cliff face which appear of overhang the surface below.

Once improved the photography skills i will try get a photo of it with a high power eyepiece.
