The Moon in First Quarter. A stack of 10 images taken with a Pentax istDS, 1/350 ISO 200 at the prime focus of a Meade SN8 8 f/4 Schmidt-Newtonian telescope on a Meade LXD-75 GoTo GEM. The field of view, cropped to the Moon, is about 1 degree of arc diagonally. Larger aperture instruments are capable of revealing greater detail, and create sharper images. The limit resolution of the SN8 on the lunar surface is about a mile-wide feature under ideal atmospheric conditions.
