Club member Dave Neunheuser captured this image of the moon's surface during the early morning hours of June 14, 2019, from his suburban backyard. He used a Meade 12-inch, f/8 ACF catadioptric telescope and a ZWO ASI183 monochromatic CMOS astro-camera. Dave controlled the camera with Sharpcap Capture 3.1, assembled the best 10% of 500 frames with Autostackert 2, and processed them with Registax 6. Notable features in the image are the craters Plato, Aristillus and Timocharis, as well as Mare Imbrium and Mare Serenitatis. Also note the Alpine Valley (Valles Alpes) near Plato at the 2 o'clock position.
