Moon - 70%

[JimFox]

I captured this quickly the other night while out at Joshua Tree. I went out there as it had been the only clear sky lately and I wanted to test my new iOptron Gem28 Astro Mount. Now I didn't use it on this image, this one is handheld at 600mm, but it was around sunset while the sky was still bright, but you could see the moon. So I tried very hard to leave it looking brighter while bringing out some details.

Jim,

Really nice handheld technique to capture such a steady Moon image. I like the time of the evening that you captured too. As as stated before, something other than a full moon always brings out the terminator detail really nicely IMHO. Great work.
