Extreme crescent moon, 29 September 2011

Hi all,

While up in the Burdekin region in North Qld this week I took advantage of a low western horizon, and was able to spot a 21.5 hr old crescent Moon on the 28th September. The first image shows the Moon, and the second shows the Moon with Venus about 5 degrees to the North (which made it much easier to find the Moon!)

Images taken with 50D and 70-200 telephoto.

Cheers,
Stephen
