[Chaos-l] Spectacular moon pic

[walter fowler]

... and they presented the image with the correct orientation - shadow up!
The one letter I ever wrote to Sky and Telescope was about this issue since
S+T often publish images with the shadow down, making a hillock look like a
hole (S+T did not print my letter).  As for hiking, I'll be at Mount St.
Helens later this summer and expect to see a similar landscape.  Now if I
can only get oriented with the shadows - was it up or down?  Walter
