Rukl's terminator prediction tables at pp. 218-219 puts the lunar terminator at 15.5 W deg longitude tonight 2-7-2006 at 3:00 UTC (2-6-2006 at 9:00 PM local time). It should be running through, and make for a nice shot of, Clavius. - Canopus56 (Kurt) P.S. To Joe. I was the one who mentioned the wide-angle view of the Moon and Mars. Photographing the Moon and the planets always presents a contrast-range challenge - the Moon being so bright. Some guys take two exposures, one for the Moon and one for the planet, and then digitally insert the Moon into the planet base-photo. I haven't done this, but since your're a photo pro, I assume you have all those fancy square filters for balancing the sky and ground exposures (the ones with only the top quarter of the filter glass with opaquing filter material). I've wondered if that also might not be a way to balance the contrast between the bright Moon and a planet. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
