Moon

Three o'clock in the morning here in Clifton, NJ.  There was some haze in the sky.  This was shot with an Olympus Camedia C-4040 with automatic settings. 

This image was taken when I first started imaging thru my 10" Meade LX200 about 7 years ago.   That was when I would try anything (and most of the time it was experimental) to get an image.  Joe Marzullo will back me up.   I usually try the "impossible" or "not likely to work" trial and error routine when it comes to imaging.   For example:  to take this image of a mountain inside a crater along the terminator of a 3 day new Moon,I added a tele-extender with an eyepiece placed inside, add this to my Pentax K1000 35mm camera, place this setup into

I hope you all like this picture.  It looked yellow when I saw it but I don't see yellow in the pic.  When the moon was appearing over the rooftops it looked bigger and like I was looking through a soap bubble.  Weird.  I hope this file is not too big or redundant.  I thought it was interesting.   I seem to be taking a lot of moon pics lately.  By the time I got the camera out the buble effect disappeared.  I set the cam to manual exposure and manual focus.  Now that I think some more...
