SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for a time lapse animation of lunar libration created from real photographs of the Moon, rather than computer-generated imagery. The user emphasizes the need for a frame captured daily from a consistent location on Earth, suggesting that frames could also be taken from various locations at the same latitude and local time. Additionally, the possibility of using images from the North and South Poles is mentioned. The inquiry includes a request for information regarding the camera locations used in existing simulations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of lunar libration and its significance in astronomy
  • Familiarity with time lapse photography techniques
  • Knowledge of geographic coordinates and their impact on observational astronomy
  • Experience with photographic equipment suitable for celestial imaging
NEXT STEPS
  • Research lunar libration and its effects on the Moon's visibility
  • Explore time lapse photography methods for celestial bodies
  • Investigate the use of geographic locations in astronomical photography
  • Look into existing lunar photography projects and their methodologies
USEFUL FOR

Astronomy enthusiasts, photographers specializing in celestial imagery, educators in astronomy, and researchers interested in lunar studies.

I have been trying to find a time lapse animation showing lunar libration made of actual real photographs of the Moon. However, no matter how much I search, I can only find computer-rendered animations. Does anybody know of a video made out of actual photographs of the real thing?

I think you would have to take one frame per day from the same point on Earth. Possibly you could also take frames from other locations at the same latitude and at the same local time.

Or possibly from N/S poles.

Where are the camera locations for the simulations?
