The waxing gibbous Moon over Upper Ebor Falls, on the Waterfall Way, between Armidale and Dorrigo, on the New England Tablelands, in Guy Fawkes River National Park in NSW, Australia. This was in the austral autumn (April), so after a dry summer there isn’t a lot of water flowing over the falls. The Moon is rising into an evening twilight sky. This is a high dynamic range stack of 7 exposures to preserve the range in brightness between the bright sky and Moon, and the dark ground in the dim twilight.
The waxing two-day old Moon in the evening sky from Australia, to the right of the silhouette of the dome of the AAT Observatory on Siding Spring Mountain, with the last of the sunset colours to the west at left. Note the Moon looks “upside down” compared to the northern view of an evening crescent Moon. Clouds are bloating the image of the Moon to look more like a quarter than a crescent. This is a 2-panel panorama with 3-second exposures with the 35mm lens and Canon 6D. Taken from Tibuc Road, near Siding Spring Observatory. Stitched with Adobe Camera Raw.
The waxing crescent Moon setting over the dishes of the Very Large Array Radio Telescope in New Mexico, on December 13, 2015, night of the Geminid meteor shower. I thought the curving horns of the crescent Moon made a nice coincidental match for the orientation of the 27 antennas of the VLA. I caught this scene on the road down to the VLA to set up for the meteor shower sequences. I shot this with the 135mm telephoto lens and Canon 5D MkII. It is a composite of a long 15s tracked exposure for the sky and Moon, with a long untracked 15s exposure for the ground, with the camera on the iOptron Sky-Tracker. A third short tracked exposure added detail in the Moon to avoid it being over exposed.
