This photographic opportunity presents itself once in a year when the moon descends at the right angle after the sun and no clouds are obstructing die view. Even though only a small crescent is illuminated by the sun, the full moon circle is visible because the earth reflects sunlight onto the night side of the moon. This is called earthshine. While there is new moon on earth, there is “full earth” on moon. — 250 mm
