On the 28th April I tried (like many others) to image the very new moon, but sadly due to a thin veil of cloud was unsuccessful. The following day was clear and here are the results. The slightly overexposed photograph shows clearly the EARTHSHINE where reflected light from planet earth lights up the part of the moon that's in shadow. I was pleased with this as the Maria are clearly visible. Both shots were taken with a friends EOS 20D and a 400mm Tamron lens. The next chance to see a very thin crescent new moon in the UK will be May 27th.
