Lunar Parallax Project again...

No it's not mine this time. A team in Houston are going to give it a
try if the weather plays ball.

Their critical image times are 02h30m UT, 03h00m UT and 03h30m UT.

If you get some images (if you can actually see the Moon), let me know
and I'll pass them on. Ideally, you need to image as big a Moon as
possible with at least two field stars in the frame. Take an image at
the times shown to get field stars and an over exposed lunar disk.
Start your exposure on the time mark and note how long it is. Once
you've got the field image, *then* you should try for a correctly
exposed beauty shot. Please make sure that your clocks and timings
are as accurate as possible. Ideally, synchronise with an on-line
atomic clock.

Here's one of many...
