Fluidr / Moonrise over the Philippine Sea by semeion.photo

Astronaut Matthew Dominick took this picture of a crescent moonrise on July 6th 2024, while flying above the Philippine Sea. The shadowed side of the moon is illuminated by earthshine.

This is an HDR stack of images ISS071-E-310105 to ISS071-E-310108. I really should have chosen ISS071-E-310102 to ISS071-E-310105 which were from the same sequence and had therefore less parallax.
But even then, the automatic HDR alignment in Lightroom didn't work for this sequence, so I exported the sequence with the same settings applied to each image and aligned and merged them manually in Gimp.
