Re: [APML] Thin Crescent Moon

Jerry - nice shot! I have one slightly younger than yours (26 hrs) here -
done with film no less!

Taken with a 102mm Vixen achromat on an SuperPolaris mount. Nikon F2 and
Supra800. Was inspired to try for a really young moon by an article from
Alan Dyer. It may be a little underexposed. When I had the film developed
the lab insisted there was nothing on the negs - I really had to press them
to print what they were sure were empty frames.
