Well-done! I have to admit that when I saw how bright the sky was by the time the moon rose this morning, I didn't give you much of a chance- I didn't take your lower latitude and lower horizon into consideration. I can clearly see the lunar crescent. Jeez, it looks like you've taken purdy pitchers before! ;) --- Rob Ratkowski Photography <ratkwski@hawaii.rr.com> wrote:

I added 2 photos from this morning. Venus appeared at first as a great orange star, followed by a thin crescent moon that got lost in the blaze as the sun rose. I had to coax Saturn w/ some contrast enhancement to make it visible in the photo. Haleakala is such a GREAT place to watch the rising sun and to encounter the night sky.
A hui ho Rob
