A Celebration of Mankind in Space
As many of you know Saturday and Sunday, July 20th & 21st will be the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11’s landing on the Moon. I think this is the right time, not for a challenge, but for a suggestion. The world is now involved in Space and it all started over 60 years ago. My suggestion is that we post as many images of the Moon over the next 10 days to Celebrate, not only the Apollo 11 mission, but what came before and what has come after and what is today. The Moon will be out for the next 10 days for sure, spoiling most of your sky for that DSO you wanted. My philosophy is:” When the Moon is out, Shoot the Moon”.
Who can post an image with 1 or 2 of the landing sites? Who can post an image of all six landing sites? I am not celebrating this because I am an American; I am celebrating this because I am a member of the Human Race! Join with me in imaging the Moon and posting with part of the title as Celebration, or Apollo, or whatever you want. We, the astrophotographers, have thousands of cameras and telescopes pointed up every night. How about imaging the Moon because it is there. If you have cloudy nights I bet you have data on your hard drive that could be processed again and posted, it doesn’t matter. I look forward to seeing all your images over the next 10 days.
Clear Skies!
