The shimmering Lunar necklace of Saber's Beads is captured in this infant crescent image taken by Jerry Lodriguss.
Luna's rugged topography and constant libration will also vary the Beads' appearance, which is further enhanced by associated low-altitude scintillation.

Just love thin crescents, and that's a ripper - opened Jerry's web site and there's some more great shots there.

Cheers -
