Filmed by astro-photographer Julian Wessel, the astonishing images were captured on a state-of-the-art Skywatcher 10'' Newtownian telescope.

The £2,300 scope and mount were used to zoom right down onto the moon's surface nearly 250,000 miles away.

The photographs themselves were then made by connecting the telescope to a top-of-the-range Canon 60D camera.
