I would have to agree. However I have seen something called a 'harvest moon' that look huge as it comes into view of as it sinks out of view due to the magnification caused by water vapor in the air. Even during that event when it is high overhead it looks the same. You can make it look larger than normal by putting an object in the foreground and shooting with a lens that is higher than 50mm, the higher the mm number the bigger the moon will look.

A telephoto lens will make it appear larger than normal any day of the year, show us some that you know was taken with a 50mm (normal vision) lens.

The chickens guts appeared normal to me but I called an expert friend of mine and he came over a couple of hours later with a case of beer and some insturments. She verified my initial diagnosis of a horiffic winter beginning after christmas but before new years day + or - 42 hours. The guts had nothing at all to say about the war or the economy. Inconclusive results.

The sky here was clear last night but we could not see the lunar eclipse because it was eclipsed by REAL mountains.

Are you trying to tell me beer is not an instrument?
