Description

I was visited by a friend tonight and after he left and I saw him out, I looked up at the sky and saw a glow among the clouds. Very surprise I went onto Stellarium to confirm that it is indeed the moon.

I then ventured out and took out my refractor(lens) telescope and tried my luck at the moon.

This is a composite shot of two exposures. One was shot at 1/10th of a second to get the earthshine and some surrounding cloud cover.

The second was shot at 1/160th of a second exposure to grab the details of the crescent moon.

Nikon D800, WO GT102 @ 702mm, f/6.9.
