I have similar pics of every phase, just ask and I'll post.

Here is a nice image of the moon. It was taken from space, so it is sharper and more detailed than anything taken from here. This is as it would be seen from North America or much of Europe however, if there are any pedants in the audience, they might point out that you can see a little of the...

Two of my loves in one thread.As an astronomer, I am fairly sure I can get a hi res image of the moon for you, even if I have to take it myself. One question which some may not see as relevant... Where on the planet is the scene set?Paul

I am an admin of a theatre group and my experience is in building the sets and props, so this is new territory for me.I have around $10,000 to spend on a basic theatrical lighting rig. The theatre is a standard proscenium with a raised stage and couple of bars, two over stage, one in front...

Thanks everyone, you have all given me ideas and important things to mull over. This will be a long process so, I expect I will be back asking again. :-D

Yeah. I think I can position a rehearsal light/sound board in the foyer or even the in the Box office with a drop down wall section so the op can see and hear the stage directly.

Thanks for that I think I'll put a couple of cameras on redundant systems to fail safe things.

Thanks. That sounds like a plan.
