Simply completed my month-to-month astronomy chat with Jules Button on Suffolk Sound: as all the time a pleasant (if transient!) session. One among her listeners requested concerning the well-known ‘X and Y’ options on the Moon. These illusions are created by daylight and shadow for just some hours every month when the Moon is at its first quarter part. The terminator (the divider between mild and darkish) passes by crater fields close to the centre of the Moon’s disc – you possibly can simply see the impact with a small telescope mounted on a tripod: I took my pictures with a 300mm prime lens on my DSLR
I’ve already posted transient notes concerning the night time sky and ISS in July (scroll down!) however you possibly can hear the printed HERE for every week or two.
