ABSTRACT:
A very interesting and fascinating image of the Moon in cloudy weather conditions was captured on the 3rd October 2010 in the morning hours of 04h48m. The contour of the rising Moon followed on the top by the extremely and extraordinarily sharp out line of Earth’s shadow is a remarkable prize of the Astronomy study by the author.
Introduction:
The Orion constellation seems to be prominent during the wee hours of the 4th October 2010 and the Moon around gives a nice scenario of the Astronomy of the position of various stars. The cluster of stars of the IMG_1849KLN is due to the Pleiades constellation. The famous triangle of Visakhapatnam sky was remarkably clear with many Milky Way cluster stars and the Cygnus Constellation stars and the nebulae dotting the Deneb Vertex position in the triangle. The Galactic plane the equator seems to be marked very clearly by the consistent appearance of the single bright star of the Milky Way slightly below the line joining the Altair of Aquila with the Vega star of Lyra belonging to the triangle. The IMG_1886 gives the Jupiter look at innumerable star of the west. An image depicts the Jupiter and the Vega star. The Fig IMG_1888KLN gives the Aquarius nearby stars of the South sky just above the shore line horizon of the Visakhapatnam city. The 4th October 2010 morning the Moon could be captured with surrounding stars with the equilateral triangle of the Procyon, Betelgeuse and the Dog Star Sirius. The Canis Minor bright stars Procyon pair and the Gemini Castor & Pollex pair of stars surrounding the Moon is very fascinating. The image on the 4th October 2010 at 04h29m shows a single star very near the Moon on the East just below it. The 4th October 2010 Moon spectrums up to two orders on the left and right dispersion Histograms have been obtained. The images captured on the 3rd Morning 2010 of October cloudy weather admirably show the Orion constellation Hunter stars and the position of the Moon.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT:
I am deeply indebted to Prof K Rangadhama Rao for initiating me and inspiring for research investigations and observations in the subjects of Astrophysics, Nuclear Physics and Astronomy during my upbringing with him during the years 1940 todate. He was thrilled to see me taking the photographs of Comets. He often mentioned about the breath taking view of the Hale's comet's tail which he missed to observe but told me its episodes of brilliant light occupying the sky almost three quareters of area.
