 Shot through a T-mount mounted on a 4" telescope. The arrangement was a bit wobbly, so it took a while to get a good shot.

Postprocessing included a sharpen mask, hue/saturation tweaks, and curves.

Nice capture. In this picture, I don't really like how the bottom of the moon is cropped off. Would also like to see the details a little sharper.

At first I was going to comment about the missing part at the bottom of the moon, but then I looked a whie longer adn I actually think it is a very good call. Not sure if you did this on purpose or not.
Nice focus.

I like the shot, but wish the bottom wasn't clipped off.

Great shot, nice capture. Wish I could see the bottom of it, I think that would really add to it. Nice use of space on the sides.

This is a great shot. It seemed unbalanced a bit, I think due to the black space at the top but not the bottom.

very slightly blurred and a shame you missed off the bottom, but good shot anyway

bad cropping on the bottom, I think with creative cropping this would have rec a higher score from me-6

I like this shot. However, I think the focus is a bit off. And the framing could be better.

This is an impressive photo and a great destination. If, of course, this is in fact your dream, then I salute you. Go for it!
