Don't let the dark stop you.

I know I have seen a few images like this on here before, but personally I've not had much success so far.

However, as it's such a nice night, if a bit chilly, I thought I'd persevere and have another go. Have to say that this is my best image of the moon so far. Definitely encouraged to keep trying to better it.

ah, i see .... it was the hospital ?

edit: sorry for the hijack.

the moonshot is excellent ... i was always advised to shoot a half moon ... shows up the shadow area so much better.

bravo !

It's Waxing Gibbous actually, not a "Half Moon"

Nice moonshot though

You're right Hawkaye - I can definitely see more than half.

dearest hawkaye,
[post edited & text deleted ... now sober]
i digress, sorry.
my post referred to a half moon .... all lower case, therefore suggesting adjective like terminology. eg a half pint, half pi$$ed etc. etc.
your post refers to a Half Moon, which is grammattically indicative of a noun.

any further comment afore i bid thee goodnight ?

Heads up if you want a moon photography opportunity - lunar eclipse in the early hours of February 21.
