Details:
This was the waxing crescent Moon Friday, December 26, Boxing Day. In this image you can see both the bright sunlit crescent and details in the dark side of the Moon lit only by the light reflected of Earth – Earthshine.
I used a composite of 5 exposures from 8 seconds to 1/50 second to capture both sides of the Moon, with the images merged in Photoshop’s HDRPro module.
I shot the images through my TMB 92mm apo refractor using the Canon 60Da camera.
