Moon Photos

I got all fired up one night and decided to make a montage of the phases of the moon, easier said than done. First you have clouds to contend with, that's why there is no day old 3, 9 nor 18 moon. Second, after about the 21 day old moon you have to stay up well past midnight to get the rest, culminating in the last crescent which is just before dawn, and I got lazy, I wanted my sleep. Third it takes a minimum of 29 days to get the sequence and if you decide to fill in the gaps it will take several months to find the right date, no clouds etc. Those who live in areas with no clouds, like the Sahara desert could get the sequence in a month, lol. Hope you enjoy it.

I must say that this is some good work, and I mean work. You did a great job, quality does not come easy or without some sweat. It is a excellent example of what can be done it you really want something great. Good Job.

Thank you dthomas, I appreciate you knowing how difficult this was. I also failed to mention that I had to take numerous photos each night and then select the best one for this montage.

I have spent many a hour trying to get night shots, and it can be difficult. However, when you get it right you get it right. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic, I don't think we have had that many clear skies in the U.K this year.

Thank you Happy Angler. Back in 2004, I visited the UK for the sole purpose of viewing the transit of Venus. Everyone I knew kept saying why the UK, you're gonna get clouded out. Some of my friends went to places that generally were clear, such as North Africa etc. It was raining the day before the transit, cleared beautifully for the entire transit and then started raining the next day after the event. What luck! And, my friends who went to those clear sky sites? It was cloudy, they didn't see the event, lol. You just never know.
