My apologies for the less than crispy views but last night my equipment was shutting down constantly due to the cold temps!

My closest capture yet of the Apollo 11 Landing site using a 2.5 mm lens, Galaxy A14 Android phone, ProCamX and a Dobsonian 10 telescope.

Here you can see the small craters of Armstrong, Collins and Aldrin just above Moltke Crater and the Landing site in between!
