3. SUBMIT LPOD PHOTOS
LPOD only exists because of the excellent images taken by many lunar observers. Please submit your best images for assessment and potential presentation as a future Lunar Photo of the Day. Send your images (grayscale rather than color unless it is a color image) to tychocrater@yahoo.com
In addition to the image, please remember to also include telescope, camera and exposure details and any other information about the image which I might use when writing an explanation. Also, use this format for the subject line of the email: “LPOD: Name of submitted image-submitter”. For example, an image of a crater might have the subject line: “LPOD: Copernicus - Higgins”.
Thanks!
Chuck

I am glad that the LPOD is back in the “cyber sky”. I read it every morning, and am amazed at the quality of the photographs used. Maybe one of these days I will catch the correct photons.
I do have one comment about the site. I personally find the text about each day’s LPOD somewhat hard to read. I do not know if others have so commented, but the typeface characters seem to run together. Other than that, GREAT Site!

Great to see the site back in action! After many months of faithfully clicking my LPOD link in vain, I nearly tumbled out of my chair when it reappeared. Yipee!
To second jca’s comment, I too find the typeface hard to read due to cramped and touching letters when viewed in IE. It’s OK in Opera, Firefox, and Safari, though.
Another problem I have (in all browsers) is that wide images (like today’s, 2/28/06) are partially covered by the vertical links bar on the right. Even on a 20-inch monitor, I find I need to open the image in it’s own window in order to see the whole thing. You might consider either anchoring it to the left-hand side, or placing it relative to the right-hand side of the image frame rather than the right hand side of the browser window.
Nit-picking aside, the pictures and write-ups are fantastic. Thanks a million for all your great work!

Hi,
LPOD: Mare Crisium - Rainer Ehlert
I just joined LPOD and I would like to submit a photo to see if it could be considered. Look here
http://www.rainerehlert.com/lumenera/Luna/M2006-03-02_19-47-44.jpg showing Mare Crisium on the 2nd of March at 19:47 hours
here in Mexico city
It was taken with a Takahashi FS-78 with Canon teleextender 1.4x + 2x = 1764mm focal length
and a CCD camera Lumenera Infinity 2-2 with software LucamRecorder. Processed as AVI in Registax and final process in Photoshop CS2.
regards Rainer

Rainer - Thanks for the nice image of Crisium. I do not need it for LPOD right now so I recommend that you add it to the LPOD Photo Gallery at http://www.lpod.org/coppermine/
Thanks!
Chuck
