	Shooting the Moon and Budget Busting with Overture's Auto-bidding :: Web-Cite Exposure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Shooting the moon succeeds as long as you can stare down your competitor, catch him not paying attention or find him simply ignorant.
		Of course, shooting the moon is not without risks, the biggest of these is that your competitor wises-up and starts "budget-busting," turning the tables and--hopefully not--catching you snoozing.
		Shooting the Moon is pretty straightforward with either tool.

		Also shooting the moon may be with either -13 (to the winner) or +26 (to the other players) - winner's choice.
		Shooting the moon may be worth either the sum of all the cards combined, or the rule may simply not be observed.
		The element of risk involved in shooting the moon is one of the appeals of the game, since a player may attempt to get all 26 points and fail by only getting 24 or 25, in which case the player suffers a massive penalty.

	Dan Heller's Tutorial Series: Photographing the Moon
		The reason the moon didn't come out with any detail is that the moon is considerably brighter than the rest of a night scene, and that range of light is too broad for film to capture.
		That is, when you shoot the "scene", you don't want the moon in it at all, and when you shoot the moon, you don't want anything else in it but the the dark sky.
		Shooting the moon during the day is particularly easy, of course, because its brightness balances with the sky naturally.

	Photography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Moon is a bright object illuminated by the sun, therefore the "Sunny f/16 Rule" applies: set the shutter speed at "1 divided by the film's ISO" (or the closest shutter speed available) and the aperture at f16.
		Finally, the moon, the earth, and the photographer are all in motion, so use a tripod or set your camera on a stable surface such as a pile of sweatshirts on a car's hood.
		Shoot with a tripod, use the longest lens you have, use film of ISO 100 or 200 and set your aperture at f/8 or f/11.

	Shooting for the moon \| thebulletin.org
		As strange as the idea of blasting the moon was, however, it was only one of several proposals for the military exploitation of the moon in the late 1950s.
		Although a 1958 National Security Council policy document noted the possible use of the moon for a manned military base, neither the army or the air force appears to have been given any indication from higher authorities that their ideas for a militarized moon were likely to be accepted.
		Landing on the moon and launching a return flight were characterized as "difficult development[s]." Much greater knowledge of lunar topography and composition was also needed--areas which, the plan reported, were the subject of ongoing air force projects.

	Shooting for the moon - Lunar Surface May Hold Evidence that Asteroids Crashed into Earth: Davidson, Keay
		The surface of the moon is not completely free of erosion: It is pelted by a steady rain of "micrometeorites" and cosmic rays.
		Also, any Earth rocks that reached the moon about 4 billion years ago should have been altered by lunar volcanic activity or changed "chemically and mechanically beyond recognition" by other natural means, he said in an e-mail to The Chronicle.
		Terrestrial rocks on the moon might "shed a lot of light on the question of whether there really was a (late) heavy bombardment" at that time, Armstrong said.

	Shooting the moon \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		One is that the moon is spiraling away from Earth at a rate of about 1.5 inches a year, due to ocean tides on Earth.
		As the Earth and moon orbit the sun, therefore, they should be “falling” toward it at the same rate of acceleration – just like the cannon and musket balls falling toward the ground.
		Meanwhile, both the Earth and the moon are moving in space, so astronomers have to shoot their laser slightly in front of their target and then look behind them for the return signal.

	Shooting the Moon
		The moon's small angular size begs for heavy magnification, but lens flare set up by the extra glass involved can stick out like a sore thumb against the dark surround, typically when the moon is not centered in the frame.
		The moon's apparent motion is real enough to smear the its shape and blur its surface features when telescopes or long exposures (mandated, perhaps, by other image elements) enter the picture.
		Since the moon's surface is generally composed of materials darker than the medium-toned subject the sunny f/16 rule assumes, it's not unreasonable to bump the exposure 0.3-1.0 stops from there.

		Setup on a tripod, mirror lockup and a shutter release cable produced a small circular object in the center of the frame.
		I needed a fast shutter speed of 1/640s at iso400 to prevent the moon from looking like a complete white dot.

		I want to go back to the moon, there’s a lot of new things to explore, the poles, the far side, it would be great to have a moon base there the way we have people in antarctica.
		Returning humans to the Moon would be a fine goal if it weren’t so hideously expensive and likely to drain resources entirely from what should be higher-priority tasks that NASA does and that capture the imagination of the public–from Mars rovers to Kuiper belt probes to space telescopes.

		Bickler says that NASA has learned enough about the moon and its origins from the samples that were brought back by the Apollo missions and that another trip would not be worth it.
		Although NASA has no interest in the moon, Miller says that it could serve a useful purpose if there are any plans to put a human on Mars.
		Miller also argues that because the moon is only three days away from Mars, raw materials that are expensive to maintain in Earth orbit would be cheaper if they were at a moon outpost.
