Here is tonight's Moon about 3 degrees above the horizon, sinking between cloud layers.

I've also added a video, looking for the Moon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EXPgd6bVBA
And another video started shortly after the photo was taken:

Very good capture on a less than one day old moon. Clouded out here, but I am glad to see someone captured this event.

Very nice capture there Tom. That's one very young and razor thin moon!:thumbsup:

Cheers Daniel.

That's a great capture... I'm surprised some QLD'ers didn't call up the television station claiming they saw a UFO... :rofl:

Now that is thin, wonderful video watching the Moon edge shimmer in that tiny gap in the clouds - what a catch, thanks for video.

This is great, especially the video. I always enjoy seeing the Moon when it is so thin. It really makes it look special. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the view Tom. That cloud must have been a tease, as to if you were going to get a view at all. All the best.

[Inmykombi]

Wow, thats the skinniest Moonage I have seen.

Well done and thanks for sharing it.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I've linked another video taken shortly after the photo was taken, and added part of the other video.

This was done with a Canon EOS 550D in full HD at prime focus of a 12" SkyWatcher Dobsonian telescope.

Cheers,

Tom
