On April 30, 2025, I captured a photo of the Moon during a deep-sky session in Koblenz, Germany. The Moon was a thin crescent, and I aimed to highlight its faintly lit dark side. Using my Canon EOS R camera and Vixen VC200L telescope, I took about 150 images of the bright crescent and one longer exposure for the dark side. Combining these in Affinity Photo, I managed to showcase the subtle glow of Earthshine on the Moon’s shadowed area. While the dark side remained underexposed, this experiment was a valuable step in refining my astrophotography techniques.
