RCT moon mosaic

Mosaic of five individual images of the moon taken with the Robotically Controlled Telescope (RCT), a 1.3 meter telescope on Kitt Peak. The RCT has been reconfigured for automated remote operation by PSI and the RCT Consortium . These images were made through a narrow band filter, without which the moon would be too bright to image through the RCT. The combined very large image has been reduced for posting on the web.
