שלום לכולם.
לא קיבלתי דיווחים על ראיית הירח ביום שני ביום שלישי הירח נראה בישראל. הצופים דיווחו על תנאי אובך ועננות שהיקשו מאד על ראיית הירח. אני ראיתי את הירח קודם במשקפת ומיד אחר כך בעין בצורה מאד לא ברורה (בלי לראות אותו במשקפת לא הייתי רואה בעין). כשהירח שקע יותר לתוך האובך ראיתי רק במשקפת ובמצלמה.
החודש נהיה עדים למאורע נדיר במיוחד מעבר נוגה על פני השמש. כדאי מאד להתארגן כבר מעכשיו ולתכנן איך הולכים לצפות באירוע. שאלות בנושא בבקשה להפנות אלי ישירות gadieid@gmail.com
גלריית תמונות מהירח החדש ושאר החודש למטה.
עוד דיווחים מופיעים באנגלית.
שבת שלום וחג שבועות שמח

Hi All.
I did not receive any observations reports from Monday. The moon was seen in Tuesday. In Israel the weather was not good as Roy Hoffman tells:
I saw the Moon last night from Ma'ale Adummim. The sky was very hazy and the naked eye observation very difficult. The Moon was already visible with binoculars when I started at 19:46 and became visible to the naked eye at 20:02 till it faded at 20:06. It was still clearly visible with binoculars at 20:09 when I left. The weather conditions were 23½°C, RH34%, P 963 mbar.
I enclose the written report and two photographs that show what a difference 13 minutes make. DSCF2315a.jpg was taken at 19:52 when the Moon could not be seen with the naked eye. Because I could not see it, I did not get it all in the frame. This picture required a lot of contrast enhancement and the partial crescent is very difficult to see. I might have been able to do better had I adjusted the exposure more carefully. However it does answer the question as to whether an 'invisible' Moon can be photographed with the kind of camera that we were discussing with Augustus yesterday. DSCF2324a.jpg shows the Moon at 20:05 and is not contrast enhanced. You can compare the two photographs with Photoshop by pasted the earlier one on top and adjusting the transparency. The crescents fit exactly.
