Right up front. These are my best lunar images ever based on the details and many small craters. The moon rides high in the evening this time of the year where seeing is decent even for mid-Atlantic Maryland where imaging was done. Using 1024x768 capture area on my ZWO ASI178MC at a 150 gain a 49 FPS rate was achieved. Imaging was done at prime focus using a diagonal. I'll consider trying a straight through optical configuration next opportunity to see if even sharper images can be achieved. There are more images to come on the same night as these and a couple days later when the moon was nearly full.
