Das iz beeg moon, yes?
Friday, December 12, 2008
Thanks to a facebook tip by Evan Bernstein of the SGU, I went outside and photographed the living crap out of the moon, full, and in perigee (appearing 14% larger and 30% brighter!). Below is 9 images arranged together in a 3x3 matrix. 
For you telescope and/or photo-nutz out there, all images were arranged using Canon's "Photostitch" program, and the photos were taken with a Canon Rebel XT, iso800, shutter speed at 2000 (like I said....it was bright), hooked up to a 2x barlow lens up to my 8" reflecting scope on a dobsonian mount (whew!)border="0" alt="stats counter">

Our moon is so pretty.
I think that's the girliest thing I've said all week.
