Photographer's Note
Maybe off topic, but for my 100th post here on Trekearth, I choose a special one (at least for me), the Moon.
Technical data:
First Moon quarter on 27.03.2004.
Lens: Astrophysics 130f/6 + Baader Flat Field Converter to achieve a focal length of 1600 mm
Camera: Nikon D100 at 200 ISO
Exposure: 1/30 second
No post processing at all
A larger view is posted on my personal website, please look here.
I promise I will not post other astronomical pictures here ;-)
But, you’re welcome to look them on my personal web site ..
Hope you enjoy it and many thanks for all your past, present and future comments and critiques and your beautiful pictures!
----------
MOON ALTITUDE AND POSITION
They vary according to its phase and to the seasons; and also according to the observer’s location.
First quarter is seen on the afternoon and first part of the night and highest in the sky on spring;
Full Moon all the night and highest in winter (moon eclipse may occur);
Last quarter last part of night and morning and highest in fall;
New moon during daytime and highest in summer (solar eclipse may occur).
Depending on the observer position on earth, for first quarter:
The left part is illuminated (like a D as represented here) in northern hemisphere and the right part on southern hemisphere (symmetrical to the view).
It is almost horizontal at equator (rotated by 90°), like a cradle.

Hi Didier
What a marvellous shot. Used to do this with a telescoop long ago. No processing so you did a very good job!

Bonjour et félicitation pour cette époustouflante vue de notre satellite. Et si pour cette 100ème image, TE devenait un peu Trek Moon ? La netteté et les contrastes sont impressionnants. C'est avec plaisir que j'irai jetter un coup d'oeil à ton site personnel !
Merci du partage et bravo pour les 99 précédentes !

Definitely not the world thru photography ;-), but a wonderful shot of the moon, with its crescent so well placed into the frame, which lets us in awe of the immensity of the darkness beyond as well.
Thanks for your link and congrats for the 100th.

On a deja vu plusieurs shots lunaires ici mais j'apprecie ce style qui sort quand meme de l'ordinaire, et puis il doit falloir une technique bien speciale. J'aime le resultat qui est saisissant de realisme et de detail, bravo !

Magnificent view on the moon. Besides the zooming technical aspects, the amount of the details and the quality is really superb. Excellent moment capture, as I like a lot the subtlety of the light to dark transition.

Sans doute que quand TE sera devenu TU (Trek Universe), cette photo prendra tout son sens! Je suis contente que tu aies choisi de poster une photo astronomique pour ta 100ème. Pas si off-topic que ça tant cet astre fait partie de notre vie, et régit tant de choses sur la Terre (ne serait-ce, par exemple, que le cycle des marées).
La photo est superbe, je suis bluffée par la précision des détails. Celà doit être fascinant à regarder régulièrement... Je comprend qu'on se passionne pour l'astronomie.
Ton site est top (mais je crois que je te l'avais déjà dit). Félicitations pour ce site, pour cette photo, et pour ta 100ème... J'espère beaucoup d'autres à venir.

Hi Didier,
I was always quite proud of my earlier pics of the moon but, when I see this stunning image, I understand that I'm a LONG way behind this standard! The detail is absolutely incredible!
I noticed you had the use of some amazing lens equipment, which makes my little 1.7x telephoto lens look fairly insignificant. Knowing what you used could be very helpful if I ever have access to such equipment in the future.
If there's a better pic of the moon on TE, I'd LOVE to see it! Outstanding work!

Tu nous a décroché la lune sur celle ci, à 1600mm, je n'avais encore jamais vu le résultat de tels objectifs, c'est plus qu'impresionnant ... Je suis très fan ! tu devrais continuer a en poster des comme ça :)
Toutes mes félicitations, c'est un cliché énorme, pour une 100ème en plus, y a pire ;)

Wow, A whopping 1600mm. Incredible.
What nice details. Very sharp, very good close-up. Due to those facts, one of the best moon shot's I've seen so far on TrekEarth. Can see lot's of craters. Nicely framed. Absolute top!
1/30 second? or 30/1 seconds -> 30 seconds?

époustouflante cette 100ème photo ! On peut dire que tu n'étais pas dans la lune lorsque tu l'as prise. La choix du B/W bien qu'assez logique est excellent ! La netteté est impeccable, le contraste parfait. Bref, la grande classe !
Superbe boulot.

Hello Didier,
I like this shot very much. I am a professor of physics, and I can attest to the professional quality of this image of the moon — absolutely first rate. Produced three years ago with a digital camera, you see considerable improvement over the product of a Nikon F coupled to a telescope, twenty-five years ago — Bubble About to Burst.
Warm regards,
Bulent
