Description

My first attempt at Earthshine - given that Earthshine seems easier to capture during the early morning (equipment already being set up and all that, plus the Earth's rotation assisting in bringing the Moon into view right before sunrise) I had never attempted it. I have captured a few crescent shots in the evenings, but this was a fun challenge to end my night of imaging as I had to quickly adjust for proper settings, take several, then hope they look good enough for post after I slept the morning away.
