Venus & Moon

[Pip]

Hi all

I took these on Thursday night from my back garden with a Minolta DSLR. I'm really pleased as they are my first astro photos.

Hope you like them

That second photo is a nice - shows the "Earthshine" on the dark side of the Moon!

So you should be pleased, that's a cracking start Pip. I'm with Phil, I like the second one with the earthshine showing. The first image would have been lovely and atmospheric, but the (washing?) line spoils it slightly.

Well done and I look forward to seeing some more

Well done Pip. Those pics are terrific mate. Exposure times are spot on, and you captured earthshine, and the Venus phase is showing too.

I like the light sky also, it is adding to the beauty of the pics.
