Moon with Starmaster 18

These images were taken with a Starmaster 18″ Dob (cellular mirror) with a Sony A6000 camera at prime focus. They were taken from my property near my home in the Houston, TX area. I bracketed the images with shutter speeds but still required some simple post image Photoshop processing to bring out some detail. It was an incredibly stable atmosphere and I took multiple images with the moon drifting by to assemble a composite of the whole moon that night.
