Looks like a UFO to me, or is that just wishful thinking?

Got a hand-rest tonight - but SO much less virgin. But at least with the first one you got a buy-one-get-one-free??

And who did not get the N&J connection? So many YOUNG people around!!

Great Tim, please keep taking them. :) I love looking at the moon. When I take the dog out last thing at night and the sky is clear I spend half my time looking straight up at the moon and all the stars. One night I'm going to bump into something ???

By popular request. But still haven't mastered manual focus at night.

And no takers yet on the N&J connection? What an unfortunate lot!

Wouldn't be the 1940 film New Moon by any chance, would it? Not illiterate - just didn't know everyone else hadn't got it!

Not Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald and New Moon????

Margi · « **Reply #9 on:** March 06, 2006, 21:03:29 »

While we're displaying our ignorance, maybe somebody who knows about planets and stuff (rather than plants and stuf) can tell me - why when we see these lovely pics of the new moon is it the bottom right half we see, when this morning the moon was high in the sky but it was the TOP right half I saw? Don't understand...

Thanks to anyone who can explain...

Of course - lovely couple!

All I know about the moon is that if it makes a C on the left, then it's Diminishing. If a C on the right, like the curve of a D, then it's inCreasing. Logical??

Lovely pics, Tim. :)

Incidentally, now is a good time, moonwise, to sow seed and plant stuff. Just after New Moon moisture in the earth's crust is moved upwards under pressure from the rising water table. This pressure encourages enhanced moisture absorption by seed and plants and the chances of germination are increased. :)

Must get on with it then!

SO SORRY! - can't think how the term illiterate got in there. You know I didn't mean it?

BAGGY · « **Reply #13 on:** March 11, 2006, 14:38:11 »

So is the D waxing or waning (sp?)

Margi · « **Reply #14 on:** March 11, 2006, 15:41:27 »

Hi Baggy

That I do know - it's waning. Waxing is getting bigger, so if it's decreasing it's waning...

I love taking piccies of the moon. (Well I would, wouldn't I?)

(tiny digicam through a 2" refractor eyepiece)
and

(telephoto on tripod)
are two favourites though I have a sneaking suspicion I've posted them here before - if I have, please excuse me and tell me so I can remove the duplication!

Hi Moonbells

Don't touch a thing! That second one is absolutely beautiful - thank you!
