moon

Just outside Greeley Colorado where my daughter lives the oldest granddaughter went out with me just before sunset to explore and find the sunset and we were surprised with the rising full moon. This is out in the farm area that is typical of much of Colorado where farms still surround all of...

Well, actually a 99.6% full moon, but I thought it was close enough. :) I had gone out for sunset with my oldest granddaughter and while we were getting cool photos, we both kept an eye on the moon, and I shot it a few times with the landscapes. But.... I was looking forward to getting back to...

Crescent Moon on 17th March 2021

It was a St Patty's moon, but it wasn't green! :) The blizzard in Colorado messed up any chance of me doing any Deep Space Astro with the new moon this last weekend, we finally had some clearing skies tonight so I did the next best thing, and went out and photographed the moon. :) Now I am...

I captured the moon a couple of nights ago. This was with video on my Nikon D850 and the Tamron 150-600mm @600mm. It stacked about 450 frames to make this. I hope the brightness is better then my last one. Stacked in Autostakkert. I am hoping I can get out and capture it either rising or...

Daylight moon as described on image.

After 3 days and 2 nights in Death Valley, one would think I would have had time to capture the moon, but I didn't as I was really focused on DSO (Deep Space Objects) so much that it wouldn't be until I was tracking something that I would realize that I hadn't gotten any photos of the moon. :(...

This was one of those last minute ideas 2 days ago. Thank goodness they don't still have food samples at Costco (where I had been) or I would never have gotten there in time at all :) Another work in progress, I see plenty to improve for next time but I like the general idea of timelapse with a...

Yesterday as I was watching the weather and realizing it was supposed to rain all day here, and seeing that Joshua Tree had better weather but still clouds, I decided at the last minute I better go take some moon shots. 99.3% is so close to full, I don't think I can even see the difference, so I...

On Thursday, January 28th, the full moon will end up being almost perfect timing for both sunrise and sunset capturing. I want to encourage everyone to go out and capture it. :) I am watching the weather reports closely here in Southern California. I might run out to Joshua Tree to see if I...

I went to Coastal Peak Park in Newport Beach yesterday to do more timelapse as we had really strong winds and cool clouds. I did the timelapses for a while and then switched the D850 and put on the Tamron 150-600mm and shot the moon for a while. The camera was rocking a lot with the wind, but I...

Seeing Chucks awesome moon photos encouraged me to get out and try and shoot the moon in video and learn how to process that video. Chuck helped a lot in helping me figure out the ins and outs of AutoStakkert and Registax. AutoStakkert for taking the Video and it pulls each frame out of the...

So in preperation of the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter on Dec 21st, I went out last night with the grandkids to go check out how it was looking (Dec 19th). I drove just south of Greeley to a farming area to get some open area and stay high enough that I was far enough away from the Rockies...
