Moonset Views in the Davis Mountains on Halloween, 2008

Above: Davis Mountains, October 31, 2008 at about 8:42 p.m.  Nikon D200 camera, tripod mounted Nikon 300mm f4 ED lens, f4, ISO 800, 8 sec (top/left) and 13 sec (lower/right) exposures.  Once again I had trouble choosing which image I liked best so I'm posting both.   I've decided the first picture is the moon setting (ridge is blurred), and the second picture is the moon setting over a ridge (the ridge is sharp).  They're different subjects, so two pictures is OK ;-)

Below: Images with my Takahashi TOA 130  Telescope (a 5" APO refractor telescope), AP 900GTO mount, QHY8 CCD Camera.  Other pictures from the camera are are here.  Images processed using my Astronomy Image Processing Workflow.
