Earth-lit and Sun-lit Sides of the Moon
Took my students to the telescopes Wednesday night for some observing "grade replacement opportunity" (will replace 1 homework assignment grade). Took some photos while there. Here's the main reason I was shooting. If you have suggestions on the final compilation, let me know, since I'm looking for something better.

Re: Earth-lit and Sun-lit Sides of the Moon
That's pretty cool. Where was this taken?

Re: Earth-lit and Sun-lit Sides of the Moon
Thank you. It was taken in Boulder, CO. Not the best phase for earthshine, but I've been SO busy with this class I didn't have a chance during a newer phase.
Gotta admit I'm slightly disappointed with the lack of replies -- I realize it may be generic, but even if you have no comments on the photos themselves, I'm really trying to figure out a better way to put the composition of the two together and would love some advice.

Re: Earth-lit and Sun-lit Sides of the Moon
great image. earth shine is interesting to capture. i remember taking an earth-shine image with my Canon AE-1 (film).
you could've make it even more interesting by combining the earth-lit and sun-lit images, like this one from Alan Friedman. it's gorgeous! |

Re: Earth-lit and Sun-lit Sides of the Moon
Thanks, Amir. I normally don't like the processing that makes it obvious that the thing was PPed and combined from different exposures, but I like that one. I'll have to wait until the moon is newer, though.
