One of my first attempts at telephotography. This picture was taken using my 9" amateur telescope and a simple non-SLR camera on a tripod looking into the eyepiece; so called eyepiece projection. To get the focus right, I used a trick told to me by Dr. Alan Cousins. First focus a pair of binoculars at infinity (eg. at the Moon). Next, use the binocular to look through the telescope eyepiece at the Moon and adjust the telescope focus till the image is sharp. You now have parallel light coming from the telescope eyepiece and by setting the camera focus at infinity, the image is sharp.

varies smoothly, from zero to 100% and back to zero again, during each complete
cycle. There are about eight names commonly given to various stages of this
process, but the number of different apparent 'shapes' is limited only by a person's
ability to distinguish between closely similar ones, since the change is continuous.

∙ 16y agoWhen you see a 'half moon,' it is a first quarter moon. A full moon is actually the second quarter, and when the shadow passes to just the other half, it is a third quarter. A 'fourth quarter' would be completely behind the shadow of the earth, and mostly invisible.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThat depends on whether your refering to a waxing crescent (new crescent), or a waning crescent (old or fading crescent moon). A new crescent, which appears on the right side, or lower right side of the moon can happen up to twice in a month. A waning crescent, which will appear on the left side, can be seen around to 5 times in a month.

∙ 14y agoWell, it takes 1 week to go from New Moon to First Quarter moon (7 days). It takes another week to go from First Quarter Moon to Full Moon. It takes ANOTHER week to go from Full Moon to Last Quarter Moon and ONE MORE WEEK to go from Last Quarter Moon to New Moon again. So, from First Quarter to New moon - it takes about 3 weeks (or 21 days). It takes 4 weeks for the moon to go around Earth once (that's why it's called a 'month" - month comes from the word moon)

∙ 13y agoThe time between First Quarter and Full Moon is one quarter of the complete
cycle of phases.
The complete cycle averages 29.53 days, of which one quarter is 7.38 days. (rounded)

∙ 14y agoGenerally only once, but since the cycle of moon phases takes 28 days while some months are 31 days, it will occasionally happen that if the first quarter moon happens on the 1st or 2nd of the month, the next 1st quarter will occur within that same month.

∙ 8y agoThe moon goes through four phases every day new moon, first quarter, full moon, last quarter. So, technically, "quarter moons" occur twice in 1 day, only they will be on opposite sides of the moon.
Shouldn't that be EIGHT phases every MONTH, or more specifically every 28 days? There is a "quarter" moon (technically speaking) twice in 28 days . . . once in it's waxing mode and once in its waning mode. Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, Waning Crescent, New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous.
twice in a synodical month
