Nearly full moon again

[garyc]

After all the great photos here from the last full moon I decided to try one of those cheap (R700) Celestron telescopes. There is some chromatic aberration due to the bright light (there is a reason that the photo is in B&W). Also the base is not the most sturdy, which means that the photo is not as sharp as it could be. Overall for the price though it is a lot of telephoto lens. <http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=14601&d=1338719954>

Awesome, especially the city lights.

Seriously, what are those "spots" ?

Craters mainly. You can see a closer shot of some of them at <http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/cla/info/eiv/>
