At 5:00 am this morning, the Moon rose with a very strong Earthshine. The shadow-side mares were visible with the naked-eye. Tomorrow around 5:30 should be also a very good day for seeing or photographing Earthshine at 1 1/2 days before new Moon. The Moon will rise with a bright Venus about 7 1/2 degs to the south. - Canopus56 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
