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.

The earthshine lit limb of the moon can be seen lower left side of image

Here is a full res. correctly exposed pic from tonight, focused with live view

That's cool, Scott. Interesting and ugly at the same time
