The moon.  Waxing Crescent. 38% illumination. 0.3s f/22 ISO100 1600mm.  Appreciate the photoephemeris.com application to ensure I was ready at the right time of the night.


The Moon

WANING GIBBOUS

WANING GIBBOUS

1/13s f/16 ISO100. EOS R5 w. 800m and 1.4x converter (1,120mm). Waning Gibbous. Illumination: 90%.

The Moon in its Waning Gibbous Phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon occurs. It lasts roughly 7 days with the Moon’s illumination growing smaller each day until the Moon becomes a Last Quarter Moon with a illumination of 50%.

YET ANOTHER MOON

YET ANOTHER MOON

Can’t get enough of the EOS R5.  Another clear night to capture this 99% illuminated satellite (not quite a full moon).  Next will be testing the RF 800mm with the EF to RF ring and EF 2x converter.  How backwards compatiable will it be?

 

Almost A Full Moon
