Unless there is haze and a lot of nearby light, you will always see the dark side of the disk, and certainly never see deep blue sky "through" it. I really like the image. It's just that it's non-physical. Maybe it needs a guy in a black bowler with an apple in his mouth floating in from the upper left corner of the shot, Mary-Poppins like, to emphasize the point. Or, how 'bout a half apple up there instead of the Moon? Dick >Richard: > >Even if it were the once-a-month phase of the moon?
