Moon Sets in Trees at the NHAC Neal Site

4.6% Illuminated; 10/15/2004.  It's difficult to get clear shots of the surface so close to the horizon.  About 8 people showed up Friday night to enjoy this very rare night of crystal clear skies.  One of the top 3 nights I've had out there. Above: Nikon D100, Takahashi TOA 130 telescope prime focus.

This was the only astronomy I was able to do the week of 1/11/04.  This is a morning shot of the moon setting as the sun is rising.  Nikon D100 camera, Nikon 80-200 f2.8 zoom, Tamron 1.4x tele-extender, f8, 1/350s, spot metered on the moon.

Sorry for the changing orientations above.  My two main Moon books (Atlas of the Lunar Terminator & Hatfield Photographic Lunar Atlas) have different orientations.  Drives me nuts.

Moon Occulting Saturn, 2/20/02

Saturn Emerges!

Saturn peeks out from behind the moon. Click on the thumbnail to see.

Saturn almost fully emerged. I desaturated the moon in photoshop for a more natural look.

Saturn fully emerged!

No Saturn, but a nice moon shot taken while waiting...

The "line" in the center is Rupes Recta. I thought it was something on my scope when I saw it the first time. It's ~110 km long and ~275m high. HF13.

The pictures above were taken via my Olympus C-4040 digital camera, a Celestron 2x Barlow, an Orion 40mm EP, and my Takahashi FS-102.  I'm using the Scopetronix Digi-T adapter.
