As always, my shots are taken from a telescope-mounted planetary camera (a special high-framerate camera with a 1.3MP CMOS sensor). This image is significantly scaled down, the original has 4x the resolution. I'm not really happy with how the stars came out, but this was the best I could do when pulling them out of the glare during the poor seeing conditions I was working with.
For more of this kind of thing, come find me on instagram @cosmic_background. I share more details about how I acquire my moon pictures in my stories pinned to my profile, and do live updates as I work on projects. Feel free to DM me if you ever want to chat about astronomy/astrophotography/equipment or anything else. Most of my shots are taken from my backyard in Sacramento, California.

Pretty soon we will be expecting you to zoom in enough to show us Armstrong’s footprint. We will wait patiently.
