A couple of other shots from earlier in the evening.
Crescent Moon just above clouds lit up by the sunset.

Crescent Moon slightly over-exposed to show Earthshine.

It was a pretty sight last night.
Good work Kenny, you certainly know how to make nice presentations.

I like that a lot. I do like transit photos. Very pretty. I took some Moon photos last night but have yet to see how they look... and really hoping for some Earthshine...fingers crossed :D
Thanks. It was a last minute decision to drive to Cudham and try for the timelapse. I just had enough time to spare. Was a difficult decision whether to adjust the exposure as the Moon set. In the end I only adjusted the last two as they were so faint sinking into the London light pollution murk (and some distant cloud).
I love that timelapse - very nicely captured and put together. Well done!
