Noticed the moon this morning, so grabbed my camera and took a few hand helds with my 550D and 400mm F5.6 lens.

1st 50% cropped, 2nd cropped by75% (ish)

3rd is two frames stacked, bit more detail. Shot in monochrome also.

I love seeing the moon in the daytime - more than any night time observation it makes me think "There's something beyond the Earth" - I don't know why that should be (too many sci-fi novel front covers or sci-fi films - such as the double sun in Star Wars)?

The other thing I always seem to note more is the curvature of the terminator showing the fact the moon is a sphere.

I know this is very basic stuff but I don't get these feelings when I look at the moon at night.

Another couple. first one, unprocessed, 2nd a processed attempt.

Exposed at 1/750th sec. F5.6, ISO 400. handheld once again.

Nice photos- that same moon was causing me problems by 1:00am this morning with DSO photos. I thought about doing some moon shots but my camera ran out of charge eventually.
