Here is a Moon shot, showing the EarthShine with many details at the dark side of the Moon. Date: Aug 31, 2005 Time: 3:34 UT Location: Observatory Welzheim, near Stuttgart, Germany Camera: Canon EOS 20Da Lens: Zeiss 150mm APQ refractor at f/8 ISO Speed Ratings: 400 Exposure Time: 6 seconds (lunar rate tracking) Notes: The original image shows many stars down to mag 12.5 in the constellation CANCER. The brightest one - in front of the illuminated part of the Moon - is TYC 1931 508, covered by the moving Moon 13 minutes later... A lager file version is available at my website (www.astromeeting.de). Thanks for looking. Cheers Stefan PS: I love that live focus feature of the 20Da...
