I won't say what that brings to mind...
But it has to do with why an old friends wife once said, "Tell him he's a dirty old man."
Great shots Jim! I was up too late to get up too early.
(I almost missed my school run this morning. :shock: )

This just happened 20 minutes ago.
It will peak out the other side in about an hour. I hope to see that as well.

Wow, my arms would get tired holding up my camera for an hour and 20 minutes. :shock:
I'll be looking forward to the exit wounds. Do you think there will be scattered moon dust? :twisted:

I got your moon dust and I bet YOU scatter.

One hour has passed and I have about 30-40 minutes before it shows on the other side. Its pretty well centered on the moon from my location. Score!!
It just emerged at 11:20 Mountain and I got the shot. I want to process it to see if I can pull some edge so I will post it later.
Muhahahahah

Thanks Craig but I won't take all of the credit.
One of the sites posted a schedule that included Albuquerque that listed the start and finish times for me.
I just had to point and shoot a few minutes early.
The exit was sometime during about a 50 second window that I hit pretty close to.

Woo-Hoo!
Thar it goes!
(Was there suppose to be any occurrences with that?)
Great series, Jim!

Well done! I couldn't even find the moon in the scattered cloud. I'm envious.

The company next door's rent a cop slowed down and looked at me like I was a bit odd. Does that count?
I was leaning against a street light post for stability shooting up at a hard to find thin moon. I guess he may have looked and wondered what I was shooting but he didn't ask. I would have shared.
I didn't realize that you can see Venus during the day. I assumed our dear friend Sol would flat out over power it.

Thank you Straight Shooter.
We have had high thin clouds in and out today but not around the moon.
I want to run these through Lightroom tonight and see if I can clean them up a bit more.
Thank you again.

He was probably lookin for ducks.
Or a really tall woman in a mini skirt.
It doesn't take a brain surgeon to be a security guard. ;)
I wasn't going to mention about you being odd....
But hey.
Venus is sure bright. So I would suppose if it is Westward, and the Sun is Eastward, it ought to be seeable.
But then, I look at it like this:

From what I understand, you can see it all day (when it's 'up' of course!), but you have to know *exactly* where to look. I imagine that this would be a perfect job for one of those computerized telescope thingies...
