Clair de lune
The photos are a bit fuzzy because I was holding a basic digital camera to the eyepiece of the telescope, trading off exposure against shakies. I'll need to sort out some form of camera mount...
What is impressive here, the sadly doesn't show so well, is the size of the craters on the right side of the picture. The moon's craters are massive. Think of the impact.
Speaking of which, lower left of the picture is a smaller crater with what appears to be trails of stuff having been flung out. What I find odd is, um, shouldn't planet Earth have been in the way? Or was this a near miss that hit the moon instead?
This is, essentially, a not terribly good attempt to get a close-up of the edge craters.
A pretty naff picture, this. Oh well.
Future modifications
I am looking to move away from a table-based layout to a CSS based one; aka getting with the times. Thus, I am currently monitoring the UserAgent string your browser sends in order to see what browsers are used to visit, and hence what capabilities I should anticipate.
Your current UserAgent, by the way, is:
$myid
\n");
if (strpos($myid, "MSIE") !== FALSE)
echo("this either is, or is pretending to be, Microsoft Internet Explorer\n");
elseif (strpos($myid, "Firefox") !== FALSE)
echo("this either is, or is pretending to be, Firefox\n");
elseif (strpos($myid, "Opera") !== FALSE)
echo("this either is, or is pretending to be, Opera\n");
elseif (strpos($myid, "Chrome") !== FALSE)
echo("this either is, or is pretending to be, Chrome\n");
elseif (strpos($myid, "ANTFresco") !== FALSE)
echo("this is ANT Fresco (RISC OS/NC)\n");
elseif (strpos($myid, "NetSurf") !== FALSE)
echo("this is NetSurf (RISC OS/Linux/netbsd...)\n");
elseif (strpos($myid, "Oregano") !== FALSE)
echo("this is Oregano (RISC OS)\n");
elseif (strpos($myid, "Dillo") !== FALSE)
echo("this is Dillo\n");
elseif (strpos($myid, "Lynx") !== FALSE)
echo("this is Lynx (whoo, retro!)\n");
elseif (strpos($myid, "AppleWebKit") !== FALSE)
echo("this is a browser based upon Apple's WebKit engine\n");
elseif (strpos($myid, "Gecko") !== FALSE)
echo("this is a browser based upon the Firefox Gecko engine\n");
elseif (strpos($myid, "Mozilla") !== FALSE)
echo("this either is, or is pretending to be, Netscape Navigator (historic)\n");
?>

I've just viewed the site in a few different browsers - see how many you can attribute to me. (Clue: love the "woo retro" comment!)Robin, 4th May 2010, 10:14
