Here's one I shot with Fujicolor 200, showing Crater Maurolycus and neighbors. It's not as sharp as I would like, I think because the seeing was kind of turbulent and usually I did not flip up my SLR mirror. The mirror slap probably caused a jiggling when I took the photo, blurring the view. The reason I didn't flip it up is that it seemed to knock the focus off whenever I touched the camera. My exposure was about 1/4 second, I think. Next time I may use much slower film and do the hat trick -- wait until the vibrations damp out, then expose for a second or so.
