Title: Crescent Moon & ISS - Jan 6th
Post by: martinastro on January 06, 2011, 08:50:31 pm
A few shots of the crescent Moon at dusk this evening taken with the 400mm lens on a rather shaky tripod. Also the 17.47 ISS pass near Jupiter.

Love the Earthshine in the Moon shots Martin and the extra satellite in the ISS photo.

Lovely shots there Martin. I particularly like the Earthshine ones & getting Uranus in the ISS one.
