Very nice David, I like the first two the best. They capture the atmosphere of the evening too.
Thanks.

Number 2 is my favourite. Nice and sharp with a more natural colour.

Houghy, number 4 (1079) is one the best earthshine shots I have ever seen! Must of been some nice cloud cover over the Indian Ocean/Africa that evening?
well done
can you combine one of the short exposures with it? - would look hot!
