Equipment Details:

Nikon DSLR 200 mm
Shutter Speed 1/60 sec

Post-processing Details:

Cropped for a closer look. Used a filter to bring out the contrast on the lunar surface.

Image Details:

Waxing Crescent Moon at 36% luminance. It was 20 minutes to sunset. The moon was in the clear blue southeastern sky at an altitude of 26 degrees. The timing was just perfect to photograph it. The sky looks darker due to the filter.
