Crescent Moon on May 10
Photo description / processing
On the night of May 10th, before the aurora appeared, I managed to observe and photograph a thin crescent Moon. Despite its very low altitude of just 13 degrees above the horizon, I was able to capture good material for a panorama in prime focus.
