sorry no. maybe i'm supposed to credit the images i use from the web? apologies if so. never did microstuff though always admired it. i do love photography but haven't shot a shot since one of those roving gypsy thieves stole the canon out of my house. i have a thing about stuff that's taken from me. i generally don't replace them.

if i remember my childhood telescope/science days correctly, the view was supposed to be better on a partial moon. i think it had to do with the full moon reflecting too much light or the shadows created by the earth, i forget what, but, anyway, was something to do with seeing more detail.
