Description

Night time imaging in southern Finland is pretty much done. But last evening just during the transition from day to civil twilight the Moon looked quite nice so I imaged it anyways. It was really hard to get something useful as I needed to make a mosaic of three images to get the whole crescent. Sky brightness changed all the time and it was adding to the pain in the processing. That being said, I uploaded 100 % size image anyways. 

This was recorded with 8 bit data acquisition, but maybe that was an error - hard to know at this point anymore. Gain was set to 200 in Firecapture (44 %).

This is the thinnest crescent I have imaged so it was nice anyways!
