Moons Sunday 12th, Monday 13th, Tuesday 14th and Wednesday 15th May 2019

Four moons on four successive nights!
Despite being quite light nights, the spot exposure on the camera blacked everything out other than the Moon, and the angle of the light gave some great crater shadows!

Pick a feature of the Moon and see how much it rotates over the four nights!
