Ken Randall of Davidson captured this stunning image of the moon overnight last night. You probably can’t do this at home: The photo was taken with a telescope. (Ken Randall photo)
Thanks to Ken Randall for sharing this amazing photo of the moon from Sunday night, May 4. Ken reports that he had a pretty simple setup to get the shot: A Classic 5-inch Refracting Telescope, with eyepiece projection using an iPhone5.
