Young Crescent Moon and Venus

[Kain]

See I can still rip my fingers from World of Warcraft for my astronomy and weather!

Tonight Venus and the 15 or so hour old crescent moon are a really nice display in the western skies.

And a close up of the young moon

I'm getting use to this camera at long last!

Thanks a mill Kain i can see the two right out my window. I thought that was Venus the other day but i was looking at it but it didn`t look like it.

Nice piccies BTW

I¬m proper ****** off right now, i got the Moon and venus in a really possition in the sky.I`ve been waiting ages to see both of them.

And my mum has got the flippy radiators on and my camera has gone flat again.All i keep doing to that camera is recharging it.And i ain`t no more cause it`s doing my head in.

I would go outside but the moon would be to low down and i`ll be froze.

Not to pick nits, but today's Moon will be ~36 hours old, not 15. We had a lovely opportunity to see a 23 hour Moon yesterday, but I missed it-working.

:lol:It`s the Phase that counts.

[Astroman]

Right. It was really, really thin then?

[Kain]

Oh well..

Those crescents are as good as I've seen anywhere Kain.

They really are as sharp as a tack.

Great images Kain! Did you manage to catch any showing the earthshine when it went dark?

[Kain]

Sadly not, not long after I took that picture the moon dips behind a row of houses and out of my view.

I will go after earthshire tonight though as the moon will be up longer.

I will look forward to seeing you efforts. I'll just go out and sacrifice some stella to the cloud gods and pray for clear skies for you. Its clear here now but the forecast for tonight is pants.

Good Luck
