I managed to get set-up with the LX-90 and a ToUcam Pro for the crash
of the Smart-1 probe on the lunar surface. Being unfamiliar with the
topography around the Lake of Excellence, I took a whack at framing the
area that I thought would be targeted. I could not lay a hand on my 6.3
reducer so I ended up getting it at f/10 instead. Oh, well...at least
the clouds gave me a break.

Well done. You may also be the first to publish; before I read your
post I searched high and low on the WWW for an image, but came up
empty-handed.

I had my own plans, but my 'scope doesn't work so well during a
hurricane.
