The whole Moon

An image of the Moon the day before the first quarter. Taken from Tradate (VA) at 300m a.s.l. using the prime focus of an 8" Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, 2000mm of focal lenght. Tecnical Pan 2415 film, developed in Tecnidol at 30 ISO.
The entire fist quarter moon. Many Lunar Sea are visible. Taken from mont S.Martino (VA, Italy) from 1087m a.s.l.. Image taken to the direct focus of a Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope of 20cm and 2000mmof focal. Ilford b/n 50 ISO film. 
The waning Moon. Because the image was realized a few days after Full Moon there are a few details, but the application of a CCD camera maximized the result. The image is a mosaic of 8 frames of 0,1s realized with a HiSIS33 CCD camera (Thompson chip 512x512x19micron) at the direct focus of a Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope f/10 (resulting resolution: 2"/pix). February 10, 2001, from Tradate (VA, Italy) with the Moon very low on the horizon and with a bad seeing (V).
