Been trying to catch that Earthshine I mentioned before, but still enjoying a clean crescent shot. So here are two crescent moons almost a month apart:
03/03/25

• E 50-300mm F4.5-6.3 A069
• 300.0 mm
• ƒ/6.3000001907349
• 1/200 sec
• ISO 400

03/31/25

• E 50-300mm F4.5-6.3 A069
• 300.0 mm
• ƒ/6.3000001907349
• 1/160 sec
• ISO 640

I think getting any amount of Earthshine in a single image is going to be pretty difficult.

agreed, I took higher ISO versions to merge, but I have to admit I don't know what I'm doing in that regard. I gave up and posted the crescent shots that were exposed normally for the moon's surface.
