Uh.  I may need another cup of coffee myself, but, with the shadows growing

Nice sequence no matter the perspective.

I have been told that PBase's "large" image is static.  Get the "original" size 
image by following this link instead.

Incidentally, the counterclockwise rotation of the moon that you see is not 
field rotation due to an improperly aligned equatorial mount.  It is due to the 
moon "turning to the south" on the ecliptic.
