Who needs a multi Billion dollar moon shot, when people can take images like this. Well done.

Copernicus, the large crater in the center( Named after the Polish astronomer Niklas Copernicus 1473-1543) is approximately 93km in diameter & 3760 meters deep. It has a relatively flat floor with a few center peaks rising up to 1200 meters. You me surprised how small this telescope is at (89mm in diameter).
