Full Moon

I know this doesn't even begin to approach the quality I see elsewhere. But it's

my best image of the moon so far, with the equipment I own, so I'm puttin' it

up. See here if

you want to see why I'm kinda happy with my progress. Further tips are certainly

welcome, though.

Wow, José, a 1/1! Care to explain what it is that you disliked so? Perhaps I could benefit from your wisdom.

Nice feeling of depth... oh yeah, I know where this is }oD

I like your new portrait

As far as image quality and exposure is concerned there is absolutely nothing wrong with this image; it is technically well executed.

Well done! - but why not crop for a square image?

Guy, I'm glad you know where this is; thanks for coming ... um ... round. ;-)

Duane, you're too kind, I fear, but thank you. I am happy to be making progress.

Nicholas, thanks - as to the crop: it probably seems silly, but I was going for a "glance out the spacecraft window" feeling, and set its position with that in mind.

I see what you mean Don, and you are right, now that you have suggested it, it just looks like a glance out of my shuttle window!

 

Regards, Nick.

Don - I REALLY like this one! It seems I always see brightly lit moons or crescent moons. This is really unique - seems like you can SEE the surface because now the brightness of the light isn't "obstructing" the view. Really great shot!

striding brightly high

across the longest sky -

a full solstice moon

footnote:) I refer to the southern winter solstice. Your moon is striding high across the shortest sky.

Anyway, happy longest day.

Thanks, m' friend. And happy shortest day to you, too! "... longest sky ... shortest sky" I like that! I find the changes pretty dramatic up here past 45° N. latitude: major longs & shorts. ;-)

Thanks Don, had a pleasant longest night. Popped out to catch the fullmoon rise. Missed it. It had already risen an hour before sunset. Still got some interesting moon photos tho.

And now, lets compare our best moons...
