Tonight's Crescent Moon. Tricky to photograph as there's obviously a lot less light than a bigger phase.

WOW. Did you take that? Great. What shutter speed do you use?

Thanks - yes I did.

1/200" at F/6.3 and 550mm

I have tried outdoor pictures, but just have a simple little camera. I need to look into classes or something

I love to see what they call "the old moon in the new moon's arms".....where the crescent is bright and the rest of the moon can be seen very faintly. I imagine it would be somewhat hard to get that to show up on film.

I found a picture on a website. It was taken somewhere in Chile.
