Friday Foto: Beautiful Tucson Moonrise from Kitt Peak

Arizona gets breathtaking views of our night skies so we wanted to share a gorgeous shot of the moon rising above the Rincon Mountains as today's Friday Foto.

This spectacular photo was taken by Emily Berkson, Kitt Peak Visitor Center Staff. Kitt Peak National Observatory is about 56 miles southwest of Tucson on the Tohono O’odham Nation.

According to Kitt Peak National Observatory’s Dec. 4, 2012 facebook post that accompanied photo...

Cannon 500D T1i
300mm lens
Two exposures, stacked in Photoshop:
City of Tucson – 4 second exposure
Moon – 1/50 second exposure

KPNO also explained “...yes, photoshop was used, but only to keep the Moon from being over exposed or the city lights under exposed. Both shots were taken on the same night, from the same location.”

Kitt Peak is home to twenty-four optical and two radio telescopes representing eight astronomical research institutions. The Kitt Peak National Observatory Visitor Center is open to the public daily and they offer Guided tours. Plus you can stargaze at Kitt Peak with their Nightly Observing Programs, or spend the night at a telescope with the Advanced Observing Program.

Stay safe and have a great weekend! j & B

This is what I missed most being over there, seeing the beautiful sky in American. It's a shame that most of the people in this country don't appreciate what they have. Upon reading the news, it seems as though they are trying to bring back the draft. Right now I think it's a good idea. Most of our young are, fat, lazy and spoiled. Everyone should have some skin in the game, then maybe they would learned to appreciate and fight for the rights afforded them by the Constitution.

That's very beautiful Janet.
