Description

On the evening of April 19, 2018, the waxing crescent moon was at 11% direct illumination and the remainder was nicely visible in Earthshine. High clouds were starting to roll through as this image was taken. I liked the combination of the Earthshine illuminated Moon with a few stars winking through the Moon illuminated clouds.

Image taken with a Nikon D750 and Opteka 500 mm mirror lens at F/6.3. Exposure was 4 sec at ISO-800.
