A high resolution image of the crater Copernicus on the moon. Moon images are unfortunately rarely APOD, while our moon is still our closest spatial neighbor... This image has a resolution of about 300m per pixel. It was taken with a 11" telescope.

EtaCarina @ 200mm – my NB pallete
Personally, I don't like the Hubble palette.
So by mixing channels in PixelMath, I implemented my own composition.

I was all set to get a great time lapse of the spectacular Comet ISON, but it was a no-show. However, Lovejoy is the little blue dot above and to the left of the tree. (And I am standing by the trees in the distance.)
