Waxing Gibbous

The sky cleared beautifully this afternoon then clouded over as it got dark. The haze relented enough for me to get a few shots with my camera attached to my telescope, effectively working as 2250mm telephoto lens. The trouble with this is that the f number comes out at about f18 so I had to use a slowish shutter speed meaning the image is not as crisp as it could have been.
Sharp-eyed blippers will wonder why there seems to be a horizontal line across the lower part of the Moon. I couldn't fit the full disc in one frame so had to combine two shots; without finesse.
