Earthshine and the 4-day-old Moon
Hi all,
On January 14th 2005 I observed the 4-day-old moon with the 4-inch refractor. In the Solar system section you will find an observing report and some images that I shot during the session. On the first image you see my first result trying to capture the earthshine. The second image is an overview of the 4-day-old Moon. If you move the mouse pointer over the image the names and locations of the different lunar features discussed will appear on the image.
