(Ouch!!!!!!)
Astro0, what's the FOV of that Celestia view? Reason I ask is that the Moon wasn't visible in the post-separation raw images as far as I could see; just curious. (Great composition, BTW, as per your usual!) (EDIT: I see that Hungry already mentioned that.) -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

...Reason I ask is that the Moon wasn't visible in the post-separation raw images as far as I could see; just curious. Is this the terminator of the moon in the lower-left corner of the IR image? If so, it may suggest either a very narrow FOV, or simply that the moon is quite off-centre from the image. http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/lcross-c...separation2.jpg -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)
