Earthshine in over 80% full moon

[tornado33]

I pushed the 14 bit sensor on the 450D,tonight by deliberately overexposing the moon to get very faint Earthshine on the small part of the moon facing Earth not yet illuminated by the sun. Remember, on the Moon the Earth would be just a crescent, so not a lot of light coming from it.
