Photos of last night’s young moon

View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Our friend Eliot Herman caught the young moon on April 6, 2019 from Tucson, Arizona. Captured with a Questar telescope and a Nikon D500 camera. This is 27 images at 9 X 0.3 stop X 3, stacked as an exposure fusion, deconvoluted, and adjusted with Photoshop. Thanks, Eliot!

It was visible for less than a minute before disappearing below the horizon.” Thank you, Peter!
