Moon via remote telescope

Finally was able to make maximum resolution photo of Moon via remote telescope with highest resolution (0.63 arcsec per pixel). Major complication was that when I was calculating moon coordinates using Stellarium based on local time (taking into account 7-10 minutes for telescope preparation), geographic coordinates and moon orbital parameters - I was missing moon by 1/2 of it's diameter. But when I did the same for stars - I was dead center on the star.

Not sure why did this happen - it's hard to believe that orbital parameters on Moon were not precise in Stellarium. So I had to add extra pre-compensation to coordinates. After some trial and error, I finally hit moon dead center:
