      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.
