More #Moon capers. Here are a couple of #photographs taken with different #ShutterSpeeds. Both in fully #ManualMode with F5.7. Images are at #FullZoom.

The first is at 1/2 s. Here you can clearly see the dark part of the surface but the lit side is rather overexposed.

The other is at 1/40 s and the lit side is in much better detail. You can discern craters and the roughness of the terminator.

@mkwadee What causes the ability to see any of the side that is away from the sun? Is it starlight or light reflecting from the earth?

@daniel It's called #Earthshine and is the sunlight reflected from the #Earth onto the #Moon. You can often see it with the "dark side" naked eye. With a #LongExposure you can almost always see it.
