I'm a backyard astronomer, and have never having much luck with photographing the sky. Must have had some dark skies. Nice!

Simply amazing! I wish we had a place to get away from the lights and see the stars so well!

imagine if you popped a flash on the foreground object or from the indside of it. Sky is cool but this image needs more than just the sky.

It looks like a tent in the foreground but I can't be sure. 6

The motion blur of the folks in the foreground is unfortunate and detracts from what could otherwise be a very highly rated photo.

J. Herschel Crater
by jperez1690

Comment by jperez1690:
David, thanks for the question. It helped me realize I was a bit careless with the details on this photo.
I should clarify that the crater's name is actually "J. Herschel" Crater. It is the large, rough, oval crater at the bottom of the image, a bit right of center, just touching the nighttime edge of the moon. (There is a bright, very oval, smaller crater breaking its rim on the right side.) The nearly perfectly round crater at top, just left of center is called Plato. The smooth, semicircle at top right is called Sinus Iridum (Bay of Rainbows).
