October Luna
photograph taken during a oncoming clouded evening of thirteenth -October – 2013 AD

This month has been very, extreme windy, with very much so of majority of clouds in the landscape.. I guess at the moment over here in New Zealand we’re still breaking into spring….. taking this landscaped photo of the Moon’s Luna surface,  was very just in the nick of time.. when the very sunset clouds have roamed complete over that night. In darken cotton sheered clouds from the southern west direction.. in slightly generous matter.. in the early parts of the evening..

Looking at the Luna, that night was great, despite the oncoming onslaught of clouds, that night.. you could see that, that the moon was in two quarters, also that you could see the beautifully outlines of the craters shadowing there curious intriguing timeless depths.. that night was great, normally you could see only the dark and the light boundaries, known as the Terminator..  In this night, you could see more of the white tones, edging  into the darkness… with the pots shadows of the large or small craters..

Half Moon seen…..

photograph taken during 2000 hours- eleventh- February- 2011

When you look at the moon throughout the months, it’s an interesting sight, looking through the telescopes, with binocular, or with your naked eyes..  in this case looking through the main telescope.. either through a Schmidt Cassegrain Meade or a Zeiss… in this case when  I was taking this a frame moment in time.. I was opening up the dome, also the mirror hatches to cool down the mirrors, making sure that they don’t warp the images during the summery late evenings… takes a while to cool down the haft a meter mirror…of the Zeiss Edith Winstone Blackwell Telescope…

In this moment, it was summer, a very much warm day and the dome wasn’t operated during the day plus it need cooling for the evenings sessions to come on that fine night. In which crowds were given very much the starry night spectaculars.
