Anyone know if we've ever filmed a star being occulted by the Earth, maybe from a lunar orbiter or another craft? Not too sure if the Apollo missions left any image transmitting devices on the surface, but i imagine filming would have to be done during lunar night to escape the the skywash.. or would it, seeing as there's no atmosphere? -------------------- Authoring the monthly AstroSketch page in "Sky at Night" magazine Lunar Sketch Tutorial CN Gallery Photo Gallery Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on terminator shadowing question cpsTN 07/02/09 06:57 PM Re: terminator shadowing question Michael A.
