Using Venus as a guide and a pair of binoculars, I managed to track down the <1 day old Moon this evening, for the first time. The attached image was taken using a K100D and 300mm telephoto, then cropped and adjusted in PS7.
I'm happy to have captured it! , but I see that I've been outdone by Vincent (Cookie8)!!!
Well done Stephen.I am so glad to know someone in Brisbane was doing the same. Nice to have someone sharing the same joy isn't it? Ah..wonderful feeling I love this hobby!
Yes Stephen. I started to panic after 20mins searching( ask myself was I looking at the wrong place??) Words cannot describe my excitment when first spotted it with a pair of 10x50. Even more so than finding a twilight comet I reckon. I cannot see it naked eye until very late and my camera's AF would not work( I also tried using the 300mm Canon kit lens) give you an idea how dim it was against the background sky! Cheers
