Sun down, Moon up. Beautiful sky viewing in Canberra tonight.

A stack of high-level cloud made for some interesting sky viewing through dusk and into the evening tonight.

It started with a stunning fireball sunset.

These shots are straight from the camera—just handheld, looking up the street from home, no processing.
























And this shot of the half moon was also taken through the thick high cloud, using the camera back on the 150mm telescope. The terminus is cutting right through some areas of severe cratering, meaning great shadow casts.
It's something to see in full size!
Again—no processing.
