The 24 hr moon was in a great spot for imaging on the west coast this past saturday evening. Definately nowhere near a record for young moons but it was fun to catch it in my 10X70 binos before the sun had set.

FS 102 on Giro II, 26mm EP, Canon 10D hand held.

Wow! An amazing image. Gorgeous. My son and I were driving home Saturday (or was it Sunday??) evening and saw a very thin crescent moon as we drove across the bridge over Charleston Harbor. Nice job, very nice.
