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. |

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.

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. | |
| |
| | |
|
| |  | | 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. |
