Moon lit 30%. My first photo with Sony CX130. Lunar picture

My first photo with HDR Sony CX 130 new handycam I used on the telescope, is this. The old one, Sony CX105, is not working anymore, and now I am glad I had to buy this one. It is actually a mosaic consisting of two video captures. The mosaic is made with iMerge.
This camera shoots progressive compared to the other that shoots interlaced, so the image is clearer and stable. It has image stabilizer even while filming. This mosaic is made in haste, but I have lots of videos for processing.
