Moon Craters with Panasonic Lumix TZ5

These pictures were taken this evening, by myself ,after finding my body clock not in time with the clocks going forward last night!  I chose a nice blue camera from the range.

• the Earthshine quite clearly lighting up the mare on the Moon (the Man in the Moon) in the blue-ish real-colour shot.
• Craters!  At the terminator (the join between light and dark) on the under-exposed shot which is blacker, we can quite clearly see large craters!
• On both shots, the terminator clearly has a ragged edge!  It’s not sharp – and this is due to the presence of craters and other highland mountain ranges.

For me, this is amazing for a pocket camera.  The thing does almost anything, I’ve found, once the correct settings are in.  In fact, it does stuff very well just leaving it on auto!
