It's WOW time again...

Awesome. The fact alone that you know all those locations!

Fairly easy, I have a book "Atlas of the Moon" that lists virtually every feature on the moon.

That explains that, but it doesn't explain how you get those kinds of moon shots with the gear you used: 70D & 100-400mm lens? Or did you take the others with different gear maybe?

Most of these were taken with a Meade 16" SCT with a FL of 4,060mm at the Seagrave Observatory in Rhode Island where I used to be a trustee but am still a member and able to use all their scopes and my own cameras, most were shot with a ZWO ASI174 monochrome camera at 100 fps and then stacked in Autostakkert.

Whoa... that is some serious gear. 4,060mm makes our tele lenses look very short indeed.

They will track the stars for hours, very fun to use. We have a 16" and 12" and 8" at home I have an 8" several refractors and the new Seestar Smart scopes

Seestar Smart scopes

This one is affordable. And easy to carry. That is, the Seestar Smart S50 is. I just looked at short promo clip for it. No camera to attach, it does it all by itself. That is smart.

My Canon 1.4 ext. was waiting for me when I got off work tonight, so I knocked the dust off the tripod tried it out on the only thing that was out ... the moon.
