moon

I had not expected to be able to see the lunar eclipse last week--the weather forecast called for cloud until suddenly that changed on the morning of the event--so I was a bit unprepared, but I managed to get myself situated on a favourable spot as the moon was set to rise. Unfortunately, there...

I think I'm starting to understand how to get the Seestar to find the moon during daylight and how to adjust the exposure to avoid blowing out highlights. In the meantime, here's a shot from the other night, a one minute video that I put through Autostakkert4 and Astrosurface before sending into...

I find it's a bit of a challenge to find the moon sometimes with this device, but when you land on it, it really looks impressive! This is a single JPEG frame, processed in Photoshop to bring out the colour. I hope to see if the FITS version has a bit more to it.

During the lunar eclipse of November 2022, I was lucky enough to have no guests at the lodge we run in Oamaru, New Zealand, and to have a perfectly clear night ideal for a night of shooting. I even had the perfect spot from which to shoot the scene--a newly poured foundation for the house we're...

My decision to capture the Eclipse of the Super Blood Moon was a very last minute deal. An hour before sunset I looked at an display of the eclipse area and realized I could get some of eclipse. My recollection had been that in California I would be too near the edge and it wouldn't be that...

This was the moon the other night. We had a few days of clear skies before more rain and then snow came in yesterday. All comments are welcome, Jim

I was out in Joshua Tree National Park earlier in the week to do Deep Space Astro, but I also set up a couple of cameras to do some timelapses during the night, this is one of them. The moon was about 50% which is cool because it was fun to watch the shadows at night as the moon moved. All...

I went out last Tuesday to Joshua Tree to test my new Astro Mount, and even though the moon was at 73% so much brighter then I normally like I set up 2 cameras to shoot timelapses while I played around with my new mount with a different camera. That sounded confusing reading it back, to clarify...

I captured this quickly the other night while out at Joshua Tree. I went out there as it had been the only clear sky lately and I wanted to test my new iOptron Gem28 Astro Mount. Now I didn't use it on this image, this one is handheld at 600mm, but it was around sunset while the sky was still...

There was some cool clouds in the sky and I had one camera pointing to the NE doing a timelapse when I decided I wanted to do another one to the SE to catch the moon rising. So I set up one of my other cameras to do that. In the process of the sunset turning dark and more clouds rolling in there...

This is a project I have been working on for months now, it involved staying up or getting up at all odd hours of the night to attempt to capture the moon each night. I then processed one from each phase (a couple of phases got missed due to clouds), and then stacked and aligned in Photoshop...

I am in process of capturing the moon every night when possible. Two nights ago it was a bit cloudy, and while I had wanted clear skies for a clear view of the moon, this is what I got, so I embraced it. :) This is a single shot. Nikon D850 in DX mode Tamron 150-600mm @600mm All comments are...

Driving to Colorado with my Jeep packed full of Christmas gifts for the grandkids meant I wasn't camping out but instead got to stay in a hotel. Which as you guys know is pretty rare for me. It was a nice change of pace, and as I looked out the window I saw the moon was finally up, and I went...

I was at the park to run yesterday afternoon and I had brought my Nikon D850 and Tamron 150-600mm to capture the moon as I am working on a project to capture the moon in all of it's phases. Well, I have been doing some pre-sunset "blue" moon shots in addition, so as I was shooting the moon I saw...

This is from Sunday night. Nikon D850 and Tamron 150-600mm. All comments are welcome, Jim

This was from a week ago, it’s a 99% moon. All comments are welcome, Jim

I think it's actually a 59% moon but it looks pretty much like half a moon to me. :) This was from a few days ago, I hadn't been able to shoot too many moons recently but I saw it the other night and had to capture it. All comments are welcome, Jim

From out at Dowdy Lake in July. I have posted some photos from there. While the grandkids and my daughter were snuggled up in our tents, I grabbed my gear to head down the short distance to the lake shore and this cool pile of rocks. The moon was just about full if I remember, but I wasn't going...

This is the moon late one night up at the Last Dollar Highway in Colorado. Nikon D810 Tamron 150-600mm @600mm All comments are welcome, Jim
