Late-April Sun and Moon

 The 11.5-day moon was shining through a thin cloud layer last night.  I used the Sightron infini D50 refractor (50-mm aperture, 540-mm focal length) to capture an image.  A 1.5x MDB (Magic Dakin Barlow) was attached as a nosepiece to the E-M5iii camera.  This combination gives a final focal length of about 910 mm (1.68 magnification).

This morning I used the same camera and Barlow with a Lunt Solar Wedge to photograph the sun.
