Down under the moon

-

With regards to the picture of the full moon in the July 2020 NPOTY (N-photo 112) by Amy Murphey, have you published the shot upside down? Ace shot, though! I’ve attached my own shot using a D750 and Sigma 150-600mm lens. Michael Wilkinson

We printed Amy’s photo as it was submitted to the competitio­n. Whether the moon is the ‘right’ way up or not depends on the hemisphere. In the northern hemisphere, it does indeed appear as in your photo, while in the southern hemisphere it appears to be upside down – or more correctly, it’s who are upside down!

One of the major effects of coronaviru­s is that the world’s airlines have all-but-stopped flying. is normally sent to our overseas subscriber­s via airmail, but this has proved impossible, and the magazines are now being sent via sea freight, which takes a lot longer. To address this, affected readers are being sent an electronic version of the mag on publicatio­n, but to receive this we need to have an up-to-date email address. Ensure we have your correct details by filling out the form at: https://bit.ly/subsupdate referring to. Can you either reference past articles by date and year or show the numbers in your library?

We asked the folks responsibl­e for the online editions who have told us that it would require a big redesign of the app in order to also include the issue number. We refer to the issues internally by number, and this is printed on the cover, rather than the month/year, but appreciate that this can be confusing. From now on we’ll reference both number and month!
