Planets and the Moon

Before there was any pipeline, there was a small Maksutov on a tripod and a phone pressed against the eyepiece. Everything here is a single afocal photograph or a short stack of them: the seeing decides, and most nights it decides against you.

The red one is Mars. Jupiter shows three or four of the Galilean moons depending on the night; Saturn shows Titan. The Moon is the forgiving target: the terminator moves every night and the craters along it never look the same twice.
