Details:
There's not many examples of the lunar libration taken from earth - most are software simulations, so I always wanted to capture it and see the phase and size changes as well as the motion of the moon as it revolves around earth. So, I took a picture everyday from Aug 4th to 19th with my 8" SCT with a .63 focal reducer - to an effective 1250 mm f6.3 ratio - with a Nikon D7100.
I was travelling on the 20th and after my return the weather didn't cooperate, so I may try again in the future to do a full new moon to new moon set.
