Apollo 15 Landing Site - Celestron C90 MAK Moon Video

Virtual Pathfinder video "Apollo 15 Landing Site - Celestron C90 MAK", produced 26 January 2020. This video shows the setup, planning and video of the eastern part of Mare Imbrium, and the Apollo 15 landing site, Hadley Rille.

The diffraction limit for a 90mm telescope sets the theoretical limit for resolution of details to the size 3 km on the moon. The image in this video does not reach that level - maybe because the moon was low in the sky when I shot the video (that is also the reason it has a bit yellow color). Reflector telescopes in general suffers from lower contrast compared to refractor telescopes, but this telescope can produce very detailed images near the theoretical resolution limit.
