Moonshine
Unfortunately, the night of the lunar eclipse, the sky was completely clouded over here.
However, the next night I went out and took some pictures of the moon using a tripod and the telephoto lens on my camera. It’s not quite a telescope, but some of the images worked out okay. For the ones I’ve uploaded here, I either cropped or resized the original 10 megapixel images down to 1600×1200 pixels.
For that last one, I used a "fireworks" setting on the camera, which gives it a long exposure. But there’s no way the moon moved that much, so I’m not sure what caused the ghost image.







Wow! Those are wonderful images. I had no idea your camera could capture that.
So beautiful! Reminds me to stop, step back, and look up more often.
In a weird development, it was clear here and I got a good view of the bloody moon. But your pictures are pretty cool.
