This photo was taken on the evening of 26 January 2010. At the time, the Moon was approximately 12-days past its new phase and was very high in the eastern sky. The image was taken with a Canon XSi DSLR (450D) attached to a Takahashi TSA-102S refracting telescope reduced to a focal length of 610mm. The image exposure was 1/100 second at ISO 100. The camera was focused on a 4th magnitude star using FocusMax software. Click here to view a larger representation of this image.
