Hi Sam and Chris, I was hoping we'd see some pictures, both are great! Chris I like how you used a setting of the Rim. I've got out-of-town family visiting and last night we were in the mall parking lot when my Sister-in-Law said, "Look, the Moon has a satellite"! I think we caught it just about at closest approach and it was quite a treat. By the time we got home a few hours later, they were a lot farther apart. I tried taking some webcam images of Mars a few days ago with the 14", I have not quite got the processing right yet but I went ahead and put up a preliminary anyway: http://www.xanaduobservatory.com/Mars_20071219.jpg A bit too dark still and not as sharp as I'd like. I think I'll try a couple more times while it's near opposition.

The brightness difference made for a very challenging image. Here is my shot, I decieded to shoot the view at moon rise for obvious reasons. What do you think? http://www.schursastrophotography.com/10dastro/moonmars122307/moon1.html Chris --- sam@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Here's a shot of the pair taken at 0140 UT > 24Dec2007.
