2-day Moon was created by paulevans
Got this earlier this evening before the sky hazed over. Single shot through 10" Dobsonian with Sony A700 at prime focus - 1/125th sec at ISO200.

Stunning Paul, a little faint, but I guess that's natural on such a thin crescent.

Thanks guys! Seanie, I tend to underexpose the Moon these days as the dynamic range is such that it's very easy to get areas of burnt highlights which look horrible.
