Description

Sunny days are promising clear nights, so one might assume. No such luck. That's why I tried to take a picture of the 6 days old Moon during daylight at 4 PM local time when the Moon was at 35° elevation near culmination. Lunar imaging during daylight is possible with an IR pass filter which blocks visible light though the contrast is not as good as imaged at night, but compensable during post-processing.

Exposure 10ms at gain 200, 600 frames, 100fps in mono8, 10-bit ADC, 1.5x drizzled, IR742nm filter
