Patrick, I didn’t want to post anything about a picture that wasn’t mine. If I ever take a good picture I will let people know as you suggested. As you mentioned about the liberation I do think the image is a good teaching aid in that respect. The photo of the moon over Temp is a composite of the Jan 10th full moon and a separate shot of Temp after a snow storm and after the sun went down. Kind of an artsy-fartsy attempt on my part.

Really nice. In addition to the libration Joe mentioned (actually I almost wrote "libation" but I guess that's causes a different kind of rocking) your animation also does a great job of showing the changing distance. And, like Joe said, please post the details. And for those who have not seen it yet: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=1000 patrick On 15 Feb 2009, at 00:08, Joe Bauman wrote:
Jim, I've been admiring your moon animation. Can you give us the details? Was it shot over one month? One photo a night? I was surprised to see how much the moon rolls, and wondered if that was because the time lapse was taken over a longer period than a month. Congratulations on a great animation. Thanks, Joe
