David Scott and James Irwin landed their Lunar Module Falcon at Hadley Rille, on July 30th, 1971. This was the first lunar mission that carried a lunar rover in which they traveled for some 17.5 miles (some 28,2 Km).
Some processing artifacts are visible on the lower right corner :-(

First light with C14.
Low transparency and unsteady skies....
Can't tell if out of focus or decollimated scope!
Hopefully this will be the last shot before my pier is ready :-)

Some time before nailing M27, I paid Selene a visit in Red channel.

Plato & Alpine Valley

Leiria, (PT) Jan 24th, 18h26 UT

After such a long time under clouded skies I was finally able to set my gear up and shoot some pics.
Though it was not perfect, it was ok to get rid of the spider webs and dust LOL!
This one was shot right after the C11 had been taken outside, so no thermal equilibrium was achieved. Nevertheless, I made the attempt.
