ASTRO: 21 minutes of total darkness
I looked it up on Moonrise and the Moon sets at 3:57am and astronomical
twlight begins at 4:18am from my location here in MI. Not a lot of time to shoot deepsky. It cleared out about sunset and seeing was ok but not great. The usual 70mm refractor projected with a 1.8x barlow and shot with a unmodified Canon XTi at 1/100sec at 200asa. Joe |

Joe So that's what the moon is doing. Nothing but clouds here by night. Some sun by day. Nice clear, crisp shot Rick -- Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct. Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh". |

Thanks Rick. The Moon is getting bigger in phase so the skies should be
steady and clear for You by Full Moon which is Monday night. Joe "J McBride" wrote in message computertechnology...
