Another few days with no Moon.

Another morning Moon!

Tuesday 24th January 2017, 07:45.

Just above zero degrees Centigrade, clear blue cloudless early morning sky, some sunshine.

160 degrees SSE compass point.

First two photos are maximum manual zoom.

Third photo is using digital zoom but not much detail because of the sunlight.

Last photo is a bit of fun. I liked the silhouetted birds so in Photoshop I put the Moon into a silhouette and set the contrast to crazy!

The Moon is back!
First Moon I've seen for a week.
Friday 20th January 2017, 07:45.
Just below zero degrees Centigrade, clear blue cloudless early morning sky, ground frost.
190 degrees SSW compass point.
First photo is maximum manual zoom.
Second photo is using digital zoom, c.90x.
Look at the line of detail down the middle between the light and the dark. The middle detail strip has very clear highlight and shadow.

The first photo!

Below zero centrigade.
It had been snowing so there was lots of moisture in the air which diffused the light.
