 The Moon, 2002 August 18, 1-second exposure at f/10 on 35-mm Kodak Gold 100 film, with the 4"x5" print scanned at 600 dpi, resampled, and reduced by 50% by F. Ringwald. |
 The Moon and Venus. (The reflected Earthshine on the Moon is called the "Old Moon in the New Moon's Arms.") This is a 1/15-second exposure on 800-speed Fujicolor Superia X-Tra film, through a zoom telephoto lens with f = 135 mm at f/4 and post-processed with Neat Image, by F. Ringwald. |
 NOT the Bridge on the Moon: This image shows that the "Bridge on the Moon," at the western edge of Mare Crisium, is an optical illusion, with sunlight shining right through it. (The eye can perceive that the two promontories are connected, but the unsympathetic eye of a digital camera clearly shows they are not.) This is a 1/15-s b/w exposure with a Canon-EOS 300D Digital Rebel DSLR camera (modified for astrophotography by Hutech) at ISO 100 at f/20 through the Meade LX200 16-inch telescope and a Hutech IDAS filter and unsharp masked, taken 2005 April 12 by F. Ringwald. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
