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.

Wow, Pete, tremendous work.

May I use this image - with credit given to you, of course - in a
presentation I'm doing at a local library soon?
Along with other examples, like Anthony Ayiomamitis' magnificent analemmas,
I want to show images which demonstrate celestial mechanics at work. A
picture like this one fits right into the mix, and is the best one I've
seen. Your composite is beautifully done and looks exactly like what I see
for real.

Clear Skies,
Dave Jessie
