An excellent shot of the moon, Mario.
Such detailed images of the Earth's satellite are rarely seen.
Well done.

Hello Jeanny, Christine, and Rolf,
I am very happy that you like the picture so much. I took it in the evening at sunset around 4:30 PM (so there was still daylight) and enhanced the contrast with a graphics program, which is why the craters are so clearly visible. I was also very surprised that the result turned out so detailed, as it was taken with only a 250mm lens.
Greetings from Aachen,
Mario
