This image of the moon about 18 hours before new moon was captured in the bright dawn sky July 28th, 2003 using the ST-10 XME and the TeleVue 76 refractor. I had to use the Hydrogen-Alpha filter in order to block out the bright sky background. The moon far enough from the sun to capture this image due to the angle of the ecliptic in addition to me being in northern <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Wyoming</st1:place></st1:State> help place.
