His email along with this image is translated as below:

I send you this picture of the moon made with a Orion 80 telescope and a The Imaging Source DMK 31AF03.AS camera.
This photo was made from a small village in the Alpes de Haute Provence on 22 May 2010 at 21h10 GMT. It is a mosaic of 9 images from 9 videos, each composed of 600 selected images. The composite was performed with AVISTACK, with assembly of the mosaic with Photoshop. Unfortunately, the mosaic is not complete, because the clouds came in and interrupted final shots.

Many thanks to Pierre!
