I shot this with the TCON17 mounted. I believe the TCON *may* have put a slight CA of a aquagreen on the top edge. So, I converted it to B&W.

Wow that is impressive! But I ask that you make this one of a series.... include a harvest moon...that will be later in the year I know!
:oThis is incredible. Amazing the battering that hunk of rock has taken. I, too, would like to see more of these. Did you use a telescope as part of your array?

Thanks! No, ma'am, I just used the Fujifilm HS-10 and an Olympus 1.7x teleconverter (TCON-17). The HS-10 has a 30x zoom (720mm). Mounting the TCON-17 gives me 51x zoom (1224mm). With that much reach, a tripod and remote shutter release is an absolute must. Since I haven't received my remote yet, I used the 10-second timer.
These were shot earlier in the week.
No TCON, racked out, uncropped
