Another night of cloudy skies, so once again, the moon took center stage in my observing. Of course, I don’t mind when it’s such a lovely crescent as we’ve seen the past couple of nights. Like last night, a thin layer of clouds veiled the moon enough to challenge a sharp focus, but I like the end result with the clouds appearing as a mist laced across the earthshine. Over to the right, Beta Tauri is peeking through the bushes. This image was a 4 sec exp, ISO-400, f/5.6, at 300mm. You can click on the image for a larger version.
