Very cool. I always wonder how big one of those spots are. Is it like a country or rather a city?

Just imagine, Tycho is the most popular crater on moon's surface and it's 85 kilometers wide. Also another redditor posted this...

It depends which ones you mean. The big ones? Like countries. The small ones? Like cities

Yeah, I meant the smaller ones. That’s really cool!

Is the southern hemisphere like, the ass? Is this the moon's ass?

Sorry, could you perhaps reword that in such a way that it made more sense?

It’s kinda nuts how far we’ve come technology wise since we were last up there. Can’t wait for Artemis

Really weird to realise that you are staring at an enormous object in space everytine for me

I don't understand. Why don't we just nuke the damn moon? Problem solved.

Very nice. What gear and settings did you use?

Canon T6+102mm telescope. 1/200 ISO200

Does this directly correlate to normal lens? What aperture does the telescope have? Must be pretty low if 1/200 ISO200 is sufficient.

Would I get similar results with my Canon 70-200mm 2.8?

The aperture of the telescope is 102mm which means i have 1000mm to reach objects in the sky. I shot the moon at 6pm while the sun was still high in the sky, that's why I used 1/200. I have a 75-300mm lens, and shooting at 300mm doesn't let you come close to the moon so i am not sure if you can have a nice photo of the moon with 200mm, BUT... you can use those 2.8 to do deep sky photography

One day, maybe in my lifetime but I doubt it, we'll take these pics and see twinkling lights looking back at us.
