About	Images from videos taken with a SAC-IV QuickCam-based CCD camera mounted on an 203.2mm Meade LX200 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope f/6.3 at about 4:38 AM on July 26, 2003 in Ellenville, NY. Each of the frames of 5 individual captures was aligned and averaged using Keith's Image Staker. The resulting images were registered in Adobe Photoshop 7 running on a 600 MHz iBook running Mac OS X 10.2.6. The gain and shutter were set to manual so that the exposures would be consistent.

Dear Taras. I like this one very much and I have to say, your portfolio is very impressive. I also work on moon shots, but this one is very special.

Congratulation.

Regads, Gerry

PS: thank you very much for your nice comment ;-)

Great job on the composite work. Your hard work shows.

Ronald,

Thanks. This was the end of an all night observing/photographing session. I was just going to get ready to start breaking down my telescope when I noticed the earthshine of the waning crescent moon. Since I had the SAC-IV still attached to the telescope from imaging Mars, I decided to tackle the crescent moon.

Very good shoot _ I think you made my idea alive. Perfect light mood. Nice and hard work. Congrat. to you.

Thanks for your comments. The lunar crescent is a difficult target as it is low in the sky where atmospheric turbulence blurs the image quite a bit. Seeing an individual frame of the source videos, one would be amazed that this much detail could be teased from them as it is.
