This is an image of a waxing gibbous moon taken this evening after a heavy rainstorm had cleared. It was captured with an Olympus E-3 coupled to a Takahashi FC-60 telescope (500mm, f8 objective – 1000mm using the E-3) mounted on a tripod. The exposure was 1/40th of a second at f8 with an ISO of 100.
