clear as a bell the sky today.
How could I manage to resist,
this glorious sight above me.

I used the C80ED on a tripod,
Put the camera up the spout,
with the 2x teleconverter,
to fill the frame with lunar light.

Very nice John, that's a perfect last 1/4 Moon with a lovely terminator. You are very good at these lunar daylight captures  Smiley
