Early morning last quarter Moon 12-May-2023

Taken at 05:17am MST 05/12/2023.
Nikon D7500 on an SVBONY SV503 102ED (102mm refractor) and a stacked combination of the SVBONY SV193 2 inch 0.8x Focal Reducer/Field Flattener AND a KENKO - Teleplus 2X HD Pro DGX 2x Teleconverter for a resulting multiplier of 1.6x, f/r of f/11.2 and a focal length of 1142mm, all of which was to frame the Moon without cropping.

In other words, the photo was taken using an optical zoom instead of a digital zoom, the latter which causes loss of resolution. Mount is the Celestron AVX.
