PhotographerChris KotsiopoulosLocationAthens, GreeceDate27/3/2009 19:22 - 19:36 (UT +3)EquipmentCanon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi 27/3/2009 19:22 - 19:36 (UT +3) Shutter Speed 0.5 sec Aperture Value 5.0 ISO 100 - 200 Lens Canon EF70-200mm f/4L USM Focal Length 200.0 mmDescriptionThe 2500 year old Parthenon and the New Moon (just over a day old). Good seeing and transparency conditions contributed to success in capturing the thin crescent from inside the heavily light polluted city of Athens. The photo is a composition of six stacked shots taken at 12 minute intervals. Note that the Moon hides behind the temple and then partially reapers just before it dives below the horizon. The shot is taken from the top of the Panathinaiko ancient stadium. |

Photographersadegh ghomizadehLocationiran tehranDate10.march.2009EquipmentCelestron C11 + SKYnyx2-0 camera total 3000 frames stacksDescriptionHi Something special is happening to Venus. The brightest of all planets is hanging low in the western sky at sunset, and if you look at it with a backyard telescope, you'll see that it is a slender 4% crescent. But that's not the special part. What's special is, Venus looks like a rainbow The seeing was poor, but Venus was still bright and beautiful. |
