<http://hou.lbl.gov/~vhoette/Explorations/tactile-moonphases/files/fts/>

Moon images were taken with the 24 inch telescope at Yerkes Observatory
on Nov. 24, 2007 by Rich DeCoster and Vivian Hoette. Haze and clouds
blocked nearly all the stars; only the Moon and Mars were visible. The
nearly full Moon is so bright that the clouds were an advantage, acting
like a neutral density filter. An Omega visual (v) filter was used, with
most of the exposures being 1/20^th^ of a second with an Apogee AP7p CCD
camera, MaxIm software. Each image is about 5 arc minutes, each pixel
being 0.62 arc seconds.
