I've been missing the sun being at work, so on Tuesday evening I decided to have a look at the crescent moon in the western evening sky. Seeing was ropey compared to my mooning earlier in the year, but nice to get a shot. Taken with the APM 100/800 and ZWO183mm camera.

Just nice to be out with the scope!

Re: Crescent Moon - 5th July
That's a really neat Moon shot
I'd like to catch the full Moon if possible as it is a super Moon this month I think

Nice shot, Mark. Great processing as well; I like the "earthy" colour tones.
