It was a tough shot, didn't see Saturn till I put the files up on the screen, but I sure like being at the summit!!
Chuck mentioned the ecliptic orientation of the Moon in another thread. It is also nicely shown in your photo - http://www.utahastronomy.com/view_photo.php?full=1&set_albumName=rob&id=eCre... A line between Mercury and Saturn defines the ecliptic. Saturn is just below the ecliptic. The Moon is about 3 1/2 lunar diameters off the ecliptic. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
