Ah, my first try at trying to get the moon though my digital camera and crappy telescope. Check out the alien head, almost reminds me of the Sigourney Weaver Aliens.

BTW this was taken at 7 AM. The moon was high up in the sky and Jupiter had already fallen at 5AM. Like what is up with that? Isn't the moon suppose to go down come morning time?

Anyways enjoy.

Yeah, I know. Extremely hard to keep the telescope steady on a tripod. Thing kept moving on me. Maybe it's loose.

tell you the truth..i see the moon better with my eyes only OP..

whilst about the moon setting up before dark..and setting down before dawn..makes me laugh more since many attribute the moon to the night..like it is something that belongs to the night..which is not the case...

download stellarium and you shall learn alot about how the celestial mechanics work..

yep..the moon sometimes sets up just before the sun etc

And again you prove that you know nothing. Like I and others have explained to you over and over in other threads, the moon sets and rises at DIFFERENT times. It changes by about a hour with each day, so does the elevation and spot where it rises from.

Have already suggested this to this person before, but some people refuse to confirm/disprove their far fetched beliefs.
Guess some people just want to believe no matter what evidence is thrown their way.

So what, I'm not taking Astronomy right now and I'm not being tested on it.

The other day it went down before Jupiter, then the next night Jupiter went down before the moon, and then today it stayed in the sky but Jupiter went down. What do you want me to think. lol

i suggest OP that you grab stellarium form here

Download Stellarium

you can enter you current location (which you can grab from google earth) and there you go..you will have all the answers such what is that star called, when you wil be able to see certain planets..when will the sun rise/set, moon rise/set, you can go backwards or forward in time

AND ITS FREE!!!
