2 Day old Moon

Last night I went out for a quick look at a 2 Day old moon, it was very clear and cold, infact so cold i packed it in after only about 20 min. outside, as my fingers were getting numb. The image below is very poor quality and was taken with the camera pointed at the EP by hand, without my camera mount, as this was a quick session, I didn't take the time to setup the mount. But now that I have a medium on which i can post the images i take, maybe it will motivate me to dig out the camera mound are set it up again.

Tonight I was Observing Mare Crisium, and was able to see the 2 large craters that reside in side Crisium, Picard, and Peirce.
