This is 27 images at 9 X 0.3 stop X 3, stacked as an exposure fusion, deconvoluted, and adjusted with Photoshop. Thanks, Eliot!View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Peter Lowenstein wrote from Mutare, Zimbabwe, on April 6, 2019: “Against all the odds – there was more than 60% cloud cover in the west – I managed to capture the thin young moon setting behind clearing clouds at the top of the southern flank of Christmas Pass. It was visible for less than a minute before disappearing below the horizon.” Thank you, Peter!View larger at EarthSky Community Photos. | Radu Anghel captured the April 6, 2018 young moon from Bacau, Romania.
