Thought I had posted this here but it arrived in the After Dark Forum. Another try.

This is an image I made a few years back - combining two exposures taken with two different lenses. Seeing the beautiful waxing crescent this week reminded me of it. Apologies for posting something old but it has been too cold and snowy for new.

Happy almost spring -
Alan

Alan, this is one beautiful shot, no matter if it is old or new. This Forum does not have time restrictions... wink

Hi Alan,

that's a beautifull image! Seeing the lit and unlit side both with details and texture in front of the deep black space gives a great feeling of deepness. Very nice.

Best regards & clear skies,
Oliver

Nicely done. It is difficult to capture earthshine without burning out the rest of the Moon.
