Edge of the Moon
I find the Moon endlessly fascinating. As the sunrise terminator moves across its surface the craters show changing features as the angle of illumination on them increases. They vary yet again when the sunset terminator sweeps over them.
The circular dark 'sea' with the large crater at the top edge is Mare Humorum, the Sea of Vapours, the crater is Gassendi with a smaller crater overlying the rim.
This is a single exposure taken with my phone at the eyepiece of a 127mm diameter Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope.
