--Apple-Mail-10--477996888 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed I sent this message to the list earlier today. I see it has not been delivered (as of 8 p.m., whereas several other messages sent since mine have (????), so I'll try again and see what happens. Sherman **************************** YOUNG CRESCENT MOON SUCCESSFULLY OBSERVED I started scanning about 8:05 p.m. (about 15 minutes after sunset); it was tough at first, but by 8:12 p.m. I had it in my 10 X 50 binocular view. An extremely thin sliver of moon against a bright sky background. It got easier as the sky darkened. By 8:25 p.m. I could pick it out with naked-eye. After which I started to get a photo or two. Below is a link to three that I posted. If you look closely you can see the dark part of the Moon lit by earthshine. When these photos were taken the moon was about 19.8 h from New Moon; when I first saw it in binoculars it would have been 19.3 h old. which is a new record for me. I was able to follow the thin cusp of light until it was covered up by the "rising" North Mountain at about 8:54 p.m. http://web.mac.com/sherm39/iWeb/Site/young_moon.html My photo effort last evening was posted on Spaceweather.Com http:// www.spaceweather.com/ Today's Spaceweather page under Crescent Moon Alert, more images. You can try for the crescent again tonight if it remains clear. It will be a little easier but still a neat sight. The crescent will be brighter and further east of the sun so you can wait until the sky gets darker. Between 8:30 and 9:30 it should be a pretty neat sight. Moon sets a bit after 10 p.m. SPACE STN and COMMON SNIPE While observing and photographing the crescent Moon, the SPACE STATION made a nice pass also heard very clearly, a series of winnowing from a COMMON SNIPE. This used to be a common spring, evening sound in Avonport but it is now a rare treat. Tonight the ISS pass is at 41 degree maximum across the north between 9:09 and 9:10 p.m. Sherman Sherman Williams shermw@xcountry.tv --Apple-Mail-10--477996888 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "> <div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; ">I sent this message to the list earlier today. =A0I = see it has not been delivered (as of 8 p.m., whereas several other = messages sent since mine have (????), so I'll try again and see what = happens.</div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; = margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><br = class=3D"webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; = ">Sherman</div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; = margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; = ">****************************</div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font = face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"3" style=3D"font: 12.0px Helvetica">YOUNG = CRESCENT MOON SUCCESSFULLY OBSERVED</font></div><div style=3D"margin-top: = 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font = face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"3" style=3D"font: 12.0px Helvetica">=A0I = started scanning about 8:05 p.m. (about 15 minutes after sunset); =A0it = was tough at first, but=A0by 8:12 p.m. I had it in my 10 X 50 binocular = view.
