Shootin' the Moon

Here are some moon pix from a couple of nights ago.

Hey BB, I L-O-V-E your shots there! Have always liked astrophotography. These are some I managed to pull off myself over the past year. Unfortunately, I missed the conjunction and occultation of Venus a few nights back. I may have posted a few of these in the past - but I don’t remember which. I sized these for typical desktop wallpaper if you’d like to save any. What is your set up for capturing Luna? I use a Sony DSC-H9 and max out the camera’s 15X optical zoom. I believe it equates to something like a 460mm lens on a traditional SLR. The lens set-up of my camera ain’t great and introduces a bit of color fringing at the extreme of the zoom, but all in all it’s still a lot of fun to snap these sort of photos. Keep 'em comin!

want tripod, I do

That’s the real trick I think! Holding steady enough to get a non-wobbly shot of the thing! :smiley: I need one two. Maybe yous and me can go halfs on one Denny - and we’ll just mail the thing back and forth between us every month or so. Whaddaya think? :wink:

Shooting the moon? So you would all be Hearts players, then? :wink:

Might work. Finding a fence post it the right place with the right angle is drivin’ me nuts.
Even if I find one some fool horse comes over to fog the lens. :smiley:

Silly fool horses! :laughing:
