[Pardon this double post.  I'm still a newbie on this list, and learning the 
protocols.  I guess leaving off the "http://"; was why the link wasn't active in 
my last post.  Let's see if this one works.]
Fellow Stargazers:  I almost caught a "double moonrise"  back in March.  
Because it was only "almost," there wasn't a high priority on processing the 
images, but I just posted the animation showing how close it was.  There's this 
mountain just east of my home in New River, and depending on the ascending path 
of the Sun or Moon, it would be possible for either body to rise twice along 
the mountain's north slope.  Like I said, I just missed it this time, but 
sooner or later I'll get one.


If you're interested in seeing this near miss, go to:

Maybe I'll see some of you tonight up in Dewey at Blue Hills Observatory.
