Waxing crescent moon, February 2, 2010, Pitt Meadows, B.C. Mr. Lord assures us, “It’s the moon, it’s cosmological! The picture was captured with a Canon T1i DSLR camera at prime focus on a 10-in Meade SN-10AT telescope from my back yard. 1/800 s, ISO 400. 5 exposures of the full view of the moon were stacked together (not a mosaic) in Registax to reduce noise and distortions, producing a sharper final image.”
