But not by me. My son took this shot with a Nikon P900 camera through a tracking telescope in Flagstaff, Az.
Not another Moonshot. Yeah it is!

That is really neat. I never get tired of looking. All the detail.
I might not need a detector to pick up meteorite there or would that just be a meteor?

Well done..even with the chromatic aberration (all the blue) it's
still a nice shot.
The Moon is the one celestial object that you don't need a tracking
mount in order to image. I usually take Moon pics at ISO 200
(or 400) and anywhere from 1/500th to 1/1000 of a second
shutter speed. The Moon is a seriously bright target..
You could probably eyeball find bucket fulls...getting them all home
might be an issue, however..

The Nikon P900 actually has a dedicated setting just for moon shots.
