Crescent Moon , 18th April

Only managed to get the one single shot of the crescent tonight before clouds rolled in . I had to rush home from a mate's , set up and shoot. Had intended to do some barlow work but alas was not to be.

For just the 1 shot that's pretty darn good!

Well, the rush home was worth it Pete, even for this one shot, it's turned out very nice. A lovely Sepia looking crescent, with plenty to see in the detail. Rushing around generally doesn't do it in Astronomy, but it worked in this case.

Very, very nice. I've just recently gotten into stargazing and although I may not have the best equipment, I can already tell this is a hobby that I am going to have for my life.

It is certainly addictive SL, rewarding and at times frustrating ! Some of the DSO that folk on here post are just simply stunning images, I hope to be able to emulate some day .

Thanks for the kind words folks . I done a rework of this , about to post seperately.
