Intuitive Machines' first lunar lander, launched last year, also toppled after landing.

What do you mean by "upper right corner of the black spot"? I don't see a black spot anywhere.

This is truly stunning, one that I would be proud to display framed and all, in my home.

It is simply starkly beautiful.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful luna.

I recently bought a heavy-duty tripod, which makes it easier to manual focus with a long lens (100-400mm). My lightweight tripod is easy to carry and set up, but it doesn't have the stability needed for astrophotography.
