Thanks Dave. It was just a quick holiday snap. Not really into AP. Too much like hard work.

the simplest images are sometimes the best, very nicely done.

Nice "snap"

Had you been into ap, you would've had to calibrate, stack, remove gradient, colour calibrate, stretch and use hdr techniques to "handle the core of luna". In the end, the image would probably end up being black and white only.

Some times, simple is better.

Thanks for sharing.

That's why I am not into AP.

"Too much like hard work". Sensible fellow!   

Does the angle of the Moon's crescent mean you're currently at higher latitudes than you normal Glaswegian ones.  Or had the holiday sherbets kicked in?

At lower latitudes in Tenerife.
