Spring Moon!


A lovely image of tonight's Cresent Moon and Earthshine.

The Moon was quite low in the Western sky, so it was difficult to take a picture using my Skywatcher ST80. Instead, I used my Canon 350D DSLR with a 200mm zoom lens fitted. It was a bit hard keeping the image perfectly still, even with a small tripod.


It's the first day of Spring tomorrow! (Spring has sprung?) The weather is bitterly cold, clear and crisp, temperature tonight dropping to -4 degrees! Yesterday it snowed, this happened last year and we had the hottest Summer on record, could this happen again?
