Early morning Moon

I was about to go to bed after a couple of hours of browsing (see posts below), but then I noticed the near-quarter Moon floating amid a streetlamp orange and predawn purple gradient. So I thought I'd give the digicam-to-telescope technique another try. My slight shifts show up too well, and it seems that the camera's autofocus amplifies the aberration in the telescope's lenses... but there's still some simple, mystical aspect to these, the salvaged shots.
