It was a marvelous night for a Moondance...

Hadn't seen anything that caught my eye photographically all day - out with the dogs, clear skies and the moon was up. A couple of shots with D7200 AF S Nikkor 200- 500 5.6 E ED hand held. The second is a five shot stack. It occurred to me that I haven't tried the D810 for moon shots. The extra MP might deliver more detail. If the weather cooperates will try tonight. Might be interesting.

What causes the melon-like striations that often appear in pictures of the moon?

I think mostly ejecta from meteor strikes.
