1. 1:00 , upper right corner of the black spot.... is that the tipped-over lunar lander?

What a waste of money.

3. Ha! The Moon is becoming a space scrapyard

Intuitive Machines' first lunar lander, launched last year, also toppled after landing.

8. I'm not sure what you're talking about.

What do you mean by "upper right corner of the black spot"? I don't see a black spot anywhere.

2. Wow, my dear Mousetoescamper!

This is truly stunning, one that I would be proud to display framed and all, in my home.

It is simply starkly beautiful.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful luna.

4. Thanks and you're welcome.

I recently bought a heavy-duty tripod, which makes it easier to manual focus with a long lens (100-400mm). My lightweight tripod is easy to carry and set up, but it doesn't have the stability needed for astrophotography.

5. That was a smart move! The clarity and sharp detail of this moon are remarkable. nt

6. I can meditate to that image

It’s awe inspiring.

If I could meditate.

9. I love the contrast between the blue and the pale yellow.
