Earthshine and the 4-day-old Moon

Hi all,

On January 14th 2005 I observed the 4-day-old moon with the 4-inch
refractor. In the Solar system section you will find an observing
report and some images that I shot during the session. On the
first image you see my first result trying to capture the earthshine.
The second pic is an overview image of the 4-day-old Moon.
If you move the mouse pointer over the image the names and
locations of the different lunar features discussed will appear on
the image.

For the full story please follow this link:

In January I also added some interesting images of the Moon to my
weblog. In the next few months I hope to write some more observing
reports, but for now, have a look in the weblog if you are interested.
