Daytime shot of the moon

Here’s another test of the "little" Maksutov.
I wanted to see the instrument's contrast performance and image quality in daylight. I captured this image of the Moon two hours before sunset using the

Skymax 90
an
ToupCam G3M178M
on an
AVX mount

—without a filter, using SharpCap capture software.
Yes, I did process it in Photoshop CS2 (a 20-year-old piece of freeware). But the raw image has to contain the detail that processing can bring out in the first place. And what image do you ever see that *hasn't* been processed?

Once again, this is great proof of the capabilities of small instruments—in this case, the Skymax, which never fails to bring me joy.

Quick tip: Right-click the image and open it in a new tab to see it a bit larger.

Thanks for the scope, Karl!

Best regards,
