Very bright full moon tonight. Captured it through my Kiron 200mm lens with a 2x teleconverter, and a crop factor of 2x, so 800mm equivalent. This is two exposures combined; one was slightly darker than the other to bring out shadowy areas.
Looked up some trivia about Tycho, the large white crater in the 6 o'clock position. The crater is 51 miles across and 15,200 feet deep. It would cover all of Los Angeles, and it could completely conceal Mt. Whitney. If you laid it over LA, with one edge at the Santa Monica Pier, the other edge would land somewhere in Rancho Cucamonga. Damn!
