Pock-marked

The ancient and bombarded surface of our nearest neighbour and largest object in our sky along with the merciless burning ball of fire at the center of our solar system. Dark areas lie to the eye and create a sensation of there being a sea. Ther shadow terminator is seen just along the bottom left, slicing the face of the moon out of sight.

This photo was taken with my 2MP camera on my Sony Ericsson W800i cell phone, attached to an 4.7mm eye piece on a Meade 8-inch reflector telescope. This was taken from the Eccles Observatory out just north of Caroline.
