This photograph was taken from my balcony in the center of Richmond. Seeing conditions were "almost" excellent - quite clear, with just a little bit of haze/fog. The Moon was 75% illuminated. Its location in the sky was: 38-degrees altitude, with an azimuth of 101 degrees (southeast), and was 6 degrees east of Aldebaran in the constellation Taurus. It is interesting to see the "ripples" of the lunar floor near the terminator in Mare Serenitatis. (The planet Mars [closest to Earth tonight] also looked great, being approximately 50 degrees to the west).

Basic "eyepiece projection" method with me simply holding-up an Apple iPhone 8 to a Celestron 11-inch SCT with a Televue 41 mm Panoptic eyepiece attached (...with a 68-degree AFOV, providing 68X power with a 1-degree true FOV).

(None).
