Description

I normally do not do Solar System AP unless something interesting captures my eyes. I was doing my normal deep sky AP and taking flats at the end of a session when I noticed a bulge of light sticking out of a mountaintop. I quickly pointed my telescope there and took some short exposures of the rising Moon. The bright portion of the Moon gave some nice texture to the foreground trees in my opinion.  This is a cutout of a 1 sec exposure at ISO800.
