3.3 day-old Moon 17-04-10 (big file!)_

[Nick Smith]

Hi all

Transparency was excellent and seeing conditions pretty good for the altitude (28 degrees and sinking) when I took this. Taken between about 20.30 and 21.00 BST. I have attached the small version (50%).

Here is a link to the full-sized image:

For comparison, last year I took a similar image at a very slightly smaller phase (3.1 days)

Very nice Nick - but it's upside down - have you been using a diagonal?

Astounding image. Superb detail, Nick.

What kit did you use to image this?

Another top shot Nick, though if you don't mind me saying I think the 3.1 day old comparison is better .

Still - XLNT !!

No an SCT. The south up orientation was purely for artistic reasons as the north end of the mosaic was badly affected by seeing.

You're probably right Karlo. Once in a while you just catch a really good one, and that night last year the seeing was very nice.

Cheers
