Moon and Jupiter over snowy Aberdeen

[Andrew*]

Thanks to a tip-off from my wife, I rushed out to a pleasant sight - a skinny young Luna and Jupiter dancing in the evening twilight about 5.30pm yesterday. My wife likened the moon to a waiting baseball glove - I liked that comment! Unfortunately tomorrow evening there will be a distinct miss-catch!

1 second at f/5.6, 50mm

6 seconds at f/10, 35mm

Moon and Sigma Capricorni

An attempt at combining long and short exposures - a single 1/5 second at f/10 for the surface detail and a single 1 second at f/5.6 to show earthshine. 300mm bog-standard (CA) lens.

All ISO 200, taken with Sony A-300

Hope you like!

There surely cant be a more stunning sight in the sky then a thin cresent moon displaying earthshine.
