   Summary Author:  Jean-François Gely
    You’ve perhaps observed a  solar eclipse projected onto a white
   background; that is, the telescope was pointed at the Sun and its light
   was projected onto a white sheet or board. I had never done this with
   the  Moon before, but the above is the result of my attempt to do so
   on the night of February 16, 2022.

   That evening, a few hours before the full Moon, I decided to point the
   famous 62 cm telescope of the  Saint-Véran Observatory at the Moon –
   I used a 100 mm eyepiece. The telescope, with a focal length of 9 m,
   was then fitted with a 90 x zoom, which allowed me to view the entire
   Moon, or rather, a representation of the Moon. I needed to be patient;
   however, I was finally able to obtain a 70 cm projection onto a wooden
   board.

   Tonight, is the night of the full  Flower Moon. See how it compares
   to the representation above.
   Photo details: Single exposure of 8 seconds; ISO 1600; and f/4.0;
   unfiltered Canon 6D + Samyang 24mm f/1.4 lens.
