Enceladus, Thetys, Dione, Rhea, and Titan all lined up on one side of the planet, with Iapetus being a little further out. Hyperion was still further out and "fell off the chip" in this image. However a great image documenting the event of 6 (+1) moons lining up. |

PhotographerTom FlemingLocationSam Rayburn Res. , E TexasDate3/19/2009 7:21 AMEquipmentCanon 40D w/ 100-400 Canon L lens Data: 1/800th sec f/14 ISO 400 400mm fl hand held with IS engagedDescriptionVery stable cool air, 5 miles of water, no wind and lots of water vapor from recent rains all contributed to the best example of green flash I've seen thru 40 years. Image cropped and sensor adjusted to 2500K thru Canon software to bring out the green I was seeing. Actually, the color was even stronger with the eye - an emerald green. |

PhotographerElias ChasiotisLocationMarkopoulo, Greece.Date3/242009, 16:58UT, 3/25/2009, 04:14 UT.EquipmentCanon EOS 450D, Canon EF 70-200 F2.8, Canon 2x converter/ at 400mm F5.6.DescriptionTo the left it is Venus as photographed last evening just after sundown. It had an altitude of only 6°at sunset (lat. 38° Ν) and was visible to the naked eye. This morning i tried to locate it again (altitude 5°at sunrise from my site). Managed to photograph it (right photo), but this time it wasn't visible to the naked eye due to haze. With better transparency conditions i am sure it could be located with the naked eye on both evening and morning. This evening and tomorrow morning there is a last chance to try again. |
