Description

At an age of 15.9 days and 99.7% illumination the moon was a few hours past new casting first shadows near the northeastern limb at +4.8º libration in latitude. Libration in longitude was -4.2º shifting a bit of the far side into view but featureless without shadows.

At 368,598 km distance and angular size of 32.41 arc min the moon shone bright and pulled a tidal force of 1.134 while its radial velocity was -28m/s towards Earth at an orbital velocity of 1.034km/s. The apparent size of Earth as viewed from the lunar equator was 1.991º.

The full disk is an 8-pane mosaic at 10ms, gain 185, 46fps, raw8, 400 frames each.
The monochrome images in the revision are taken with an ASI290MM and ERF filter.

Condition poor, hazy turbulent air, but strawberries do not wait.
