Default Moon composite

Hi Pete

Wierd effect! 3D terminator and flat dark side.

Very nice though!

Thanks
Paul

Prepare yourself... it's not a close up ;-)

It's a composite of two wide field shots of the Moon taken with my
80mm refractor. I've tried to compose the Earthshine shot with the
lunar crescent - something I must admit I find extremely hard to do
convincingly. It's subtle here and if your monitor isn't calibrated
right you'll probably miss it.
