Long Shadows of the Montes Caucasus
* Image Credit & Copyright: Guy Bardon

Explanation:
When the Moon is at its first quarter phase, the Sun rises along the Montes Caucasus as seen from the lunar surface. The lunar mountain range casts the magnificent, spire-like shadows in this telescopic view from planet Earth, looking along the lunar terminator or the boundary between lunar night and day. Named for Earth's own Caucasus Mountains, the rugged lunar Montes Caucasus peaks, up to 6 kilometers high, are located between the smooth Mare Imbrium to the west and Mare Serenitatis to the east. Still mostly in shadow in this first quarter lunarscape, at the left (west) impact craters reflect the light of the rising Sun along their outer, eastern crater walls.

Dauerhaft schlechtes Astrowetter - Wolken oder Nebel. Oder beides.
Doch gestern klarte es ab 21:00 auf und der Nebel lag noch für gut 2 Stunden ausreichend weit unterhalb.

The autumn Milky Way - east Cassiopeia and Perseus.

This monochrome image was taken through a blue filter to enhance the appearance of dark dust features in the star fields.

The second graphic is a sky simulation in planetarium software. The red wire frame box shows the coverage of the photograph.

The third graphic shows the frame coverage in the context of a larger portion of the night sky.
