Pink Sliver - What a thin moon

[jgs001]

Wow, what a thin slice of moon was just about visible for about a minute between clouds... Was able to snatch a couple of shots before the moon vanished into cloud and the light in the sky fell away to nothing.

60d w Sigma 150-600

Really pleased, given how low the moon was, there is some (albeit difficult to see) detail

Very nice John, significantly sharper than my images.

That's also pretty low down, you did really well to get the detail

Thanks guys... Just checked looks like she was about 7 to 8 degrees above the horizon.

 

Ant 600mm tripod mounted remote shutter release, Vs 250mm handheld I guess. I've used the 55-250 to do this, and it's a pretty good lens, but image scale was always an issue for any detail. Birthday pressie year before last, looonng canon fit lens, makes focusing so much simpler for the moon then my ed80 😁
