Lunar V and X

[louismark]

Hi all I was just reading all the other posts about the lunar V and X, and until 5 minutes ago I didn't know know what it was or means, and I was having a crack at shooting the moon as I love the view of a part moon more than a full moon, but I just had to have a quick look at one of the images I took last night and I managed to get both. It's no way as clear or as sharp as some of the images on here but I don't think it's to bad. 

It was one image taken on a skywatcher 130 with a canon 40d cleaned up in Photoshop

Very sharp image! I love how the v and x really stands out.

Thanks Victor and Richard I think it's more beginners luck/fluke ?

Very nice Louis, nice sharp image and you've caught them both very well.

Strangely enough, the first ever moon picture I took showed the X, completely by fluke!

I think you hit a sweet spot with that image, its not so easy getting them both to stand out at the same time.. well done.
