First Quarter Moon – 13 April 2008
-
Inmage taken last night.
Canon 400d, TEC140 refractor, ISO100, 1/160sechttp://www.astroshot.com/Lunar/images/2008-04-13-First-Quarter-Moon.jpg
Constructive comments on how I could improve the image will be greatly appreciated.
very good-
never tire of seeing these-It prompts a question-
how often is the moon cratered by asteroids?Have any big hits been recorded recently?

(one small criticism- your title and signature-
not totally blown away by your choice and size of typeface, and the layout-
If I had to put one in, I might centre it all, and make it smaller, in something less florid-
but that’s just me)Good to see you posting again Michael…
Like Joseph, I’m always impressed by these shots, tremendous
detail as usual. Keep ’em coming…Rob.

No major impacts recorded in recent years. Most impacts were caused shortly after the Moon formed. No atmosphere on the Moon so no weathering, hence they are permanently etched on the lunar surface.

Keep it coming! :)Rob wrote:

Thanks Rob.
Unfortunately, I don’t post much elsewhere on the site as my knowledge of “normal” photography is very limited. :cry:This title look any better??

I’ve been looking into frames recently. This might help

Concerning your fascinating shot of the moon, do you need a location with low light polution? Do you typically need long exposures? If so, how do you compensate for orbit/movement?
The title does look good,
but could be better if it was centered-The word ‘Moon’ is quite possibly redundant- imo-
And the date is a little confused-
if you’re not going to use separators,
then perhaps you could use a little more space between groups-
and as different cultures use different date formats,
maybe using the word ‘April’, as in your first picture, might be preferable-The capitalization is maybe a bit distracting too (for me)
small caps might be better graphically-
the same size as your lower case-Much better font though-

Very impressed with this shot and am interested in doing some of the same, but what is the above, and could you give more info on how you achieved the shot.
ThanksPat

I was also curious and found these after a google search:

http://home.comcast.net/~jeboud/astro.htm
The latter one shows photographs of Mars, Mercury, Venus and satellites! Some of these are miles away (lol)!!
This is great – so much detail… really shows what our poor lil moon has been through.
Title is getting there… jb has said it all

Great moon shot by you as well astroshot. Love the detail in it. I like the kind of sci-fi title (second one you did I think) but thats just me :lol:
