Crescent moon 24-2-12

I don't usually post in here because there's so many great lunar images that put my efforts to shame.

Anyway here's my effort from last night, Skywatcher 150pl on CG 5, philips webcam, 2 minute captures at 15fps using sharpcap, processed in registax 6 and the 7 images stitched together in Photoshop elements.

That's a really nice photo it's like something from a sci-fi film. I'm half expecting a big lumbering mothership to come into view

Yeah, that's a great image! I'm also nodding in agreement with Ronnie's assessment

Thanks for the kind comments, hoping the skies clear for another go this evening.

That's a lovely image - nice one

Really tricky, when it's a small band showing.

Great shot!

That's a very thin moon, nicely captured and quite sci-fi'ish.

[Stu]

Very nice . I like it a lot

Thanks for the positive comments, had a bit of problem last night though, the swear filter would be in overload if I repeated what I said when this happened.
