Moon Observing
Due to its relative long
f ratio (f/13.33), the small Zeiss is an ideal scope to observe the Moon.
In this section you'll be able to see some fine pictures and sketches of
the Moon, taken using different techniques; from conventional film cameras
to CCD devices and digital still cameras.

Landscapes show resolution as low as 6-7 kms on the surface of our Satellite.
As you can see, significant craters and lunar features are named in the

captions for the mentioned features, while the one at right, -coloured
in sepia in order to give a romantice tone- is caption-free. Enjoy from
this mini-atlas brought to you by one of the more incredible refractors
on Earth!
