THE GOLDEN HANDLE ON THE MOON Taken by Heiko Ulbricht and Mario Ludwig on February 25, 2018 @ Radebeul (Observatory), Saxony, Germany

Fantastic seeing yesterday over the observatory in Radebeul thanks to a very big high pressure area over North Europe - but also with very cold air over Europe and a long period of frost…

The Golden Handle on the Moon (Sinus Iridum) was very good to see… the pointed, long shadows of some mountains were a feast for the eyes.
