Two views of last night's Moon...

Interesting. That's the first time that I see the Earthshine with such an
"old" Moon.

Yes I know - I thought that too. I've tried to capture Earthshine on
an older Moon before but have failed miserably. I don't know the
reason why it was so bright on the 25th. Stephen Tonkin mentions
observing features on the Earth-lit side on that night with his 20x100
bins (See the thread "The night of 25/26 Feb.").
