For July, I'll be concentrating on the moon, so I'll be looking for some images at all lunar phases. Right now I don't have many crescent moon images, so if you have some, even if you don't think they are very good, send som over to me. It's also good to show imnages in poor seeing conditions because that's what the view looks like sometimes. I'd like, primarily images at low power, similar to what the moon will look like for a member of the public (aka, unaided view, not telescopic view) So I don't really need images of a part of the moon or a certain crater, but rather the whole visible disk. For June, I am missing a picture showing two planets in the same eyepiece view. At the end of June Venus and Saturn will be less than a degree apart, and will be visible in the same low power eyepiece view. If anyone has something like that, a view of a close conjunction of Veius and Saturn, I could really use an image. There have been a few conjunctions of the two planets in the past few years, but I haven't found an image anyplace. Thanks!
