Moon - Waxing Crescent

Unread post by rjbokleman »

Nothing special, but happened to look up and catch the Moon between the trees in my front yard. Ran inside, grabbed the camera and tripod and took a quick shot.

Nice shot Ron, almost makes me want to howl. Though I usually reserve that for when it's full.

Thanks for all the kind replies...I've found composition to be a very hard thing with this hobby - especially DSO's where there's little you can do - unless it's a wide field shot.

Sometimes, like this one, you get lucky!
