Default Tight fit.

No, not the group that sung "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" ;-)

Just managed to get the Moon and Venus on a single, through-the-scope,
image tonight. Had to resort to using my little ST-80 to do it. A
bit of a squeeze though...

Here's a composite of the crescent and the Earthshine components. I
still find it a bit tricky to handle the Earthshine-terminator
boundary.

Finally, just to see what would come out, here's a 30s ISO1600 image
of the crescent Moon on the 24th March. Curves have been pushed to
brighten the image further. Notice the reasonably large number of
stars that appear in the image.
