Low down crescent

[Trevor N]

Decided to just observe tonight's crescent moon very low in the Western sky with an ED100 on a Sky-tee mount. Surprisingly steady view, so couldn't resist taking a quick image. This is a mosaic of seven shots taken using hand guiding on the mount.I don't think any image can get the brightness and contrast that you can see visually but its a fair representation of what could be seen at 60 x

Thanks Neil. It’s probably the lowest elevation I’ve ever imaged at so pleased to get anything useful.
