Theophilus

02:00 21/2/2003 UTC

While shooting Jupiter the sky seemed to be bit more stable than before during the winter, so I decided to try barlowed setup. Crater Theophilus was nicely close to the terminator of Waning moon and I had previously taken images of it so I had an opportunity to compare the Barlowed setup. With barlow the image resolution exceeds my Telescope resolving power so I had to downsample this image. Compare it to the previous Theophilus image taken at Waxing moon.
