Portrait of a Moonlit World
Earth’s Moon fills the frame in striking detail, revealing a rugged landscape shaped by ancient impacts. Bright crater rays stretch across dark lunar maria while countless smaller craters trace the Moon’s long geological history. Photographed through a Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, this close view transforms a familiar light in the Texas sky into a vast and textured world. #Luna #Moon #MoonPhotography #LunarPhotography #Astrophotography #LunarSurface #MoonCrater #TelescopePhotography #NightSky #SanAntonio #Texas #EngelPhotography
