Waning Crescent Mosaic. 21/07/2014

I took this mosaic of the Waning Crescent yesterday morning, just as the Sun was threatening to rise. 
It was a stunning morning and the seeing was surprisingly good! Really enjoyed it.

At prime focus and without the IR pass filter I normally use, I was shocked by how bright the image was. I was able to use the camera with 6% gain! 

5 panes, each one best 500 of 2000 frames.

Skywatcher 200p at f/5, ASI120MM unfiltered. 

All comments really appreciated thanks,

That's a corker Dan, I never had much luck with lunar/planetary imaging so I really appreciate it when I see something like this.
