The Moon - 5 days old

[Back to the Lunation Index]


This image of the Moon was captured by Chris Newsome on the 20th June 2007. It was taken with a Canon EOS 300D camera attached to a Skywatcher 102T telescope and using a 2x Barlow. Focusing was done with an incredible device called... an eye! Two exposures (1/10 sec and 1/50 sec at 200ASA) were grayscaled and were then layered in CS2 and adjusted to bring out the different tones.



The following image shows the 5.75 day old Moon and was taken by Chris Newsome on the 10th August 2005. Theophilus, Cyrillus and Catharina are visible on the terminator.
