The Moon with new (old) telescope

 A few months ago, I aquired an old Klevtsov-Cassegrain. I have been itching to try it on some high-resolution work. But weather and other reasons have made it impossible. Until yesterday. The moon was high, and a few days away from full. So there are some regions on the western parts that makes a great relief. And I wanted to capture that. I didn't care to take photos of the rest of the moon, as it is boringly flat. The telescope proved to be pleasantly sharp. I could even make out a number of cratlets in Plato. Although they aren't showing up at circles, they are obvious from the lightness compared to their surroundings. I will try later to picture those when the shades are different. And the atmosphere is calmer.
