Oldest known surviving image of the moon, and...appropriately enough, one of the large dark areas is...Mare Tranquilitatis!

A not-quite-full moon rose at sundown this evening on the way home from work on my "back-40, avoid-the-traffic" route off of Ft. Campbell (12-8-2011). It will officially be a full moon this Saturday, the 10th, with a full lunar eclipse occurring, as well. Asia and Australia get to see the show in its entirety while those of us here in North America will see varying stages of the eclipse as the moon sets (it will be best viewed in the American and Canadian west while those east of the Appalachian Mountains won't be able to see it before the moon sets...). We also get an opportunity to see an unusual effect that one wouldn't think possible: a selenelion. Both the eclipsed moon and the rising sun will be visible at the same time. Doesn't make sense, eh? I won't give it away for it's in one of the two links below... {chuckle} It makes sense once one thinks about it, I promise! :-)

Not the sharpest image of the moon I have ever taken, but it's really difficult when there is not much showing. I used the 5D MKII with the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM and EF 2x Extender to give me a max of 400mm :-( and of course placed it on a tripod with remote trigger to eliminate as much camera shake as possible. Oh and of course I heavily cropped the image.
Clouds pass by the January's full moon. The raw file was processed in Digital Photo Professional. The exposure was adjusted in a curves layer, in PaintShop Pro.

No, there wasn't a surprise eclipse this week. Minnesota has been in the grips of its newest season for the last two weeks, Canadian Wildfire Season. During this season, the sky turns grey and objects in the sky turn shades of red. On the night of July 3rd, I managed to capture these images of the moon rising through the smoke. It started as a deep red, then lightened to shades of orange as it rose.
The full moon of July is called the Buck Moon because this is the time of year that bucks develop their velvety antlers. Could this be an omen for hunters this year? Time will tell!
Friday June 30th, 2012 / Illumination of the moon disk: 85%.
The moon is growing bigger (young moon)
Lunar Phase is Waxing Gibbous.
Zodiac sign: Scorpio.
This moon is in the first quarter phase which means it is halfway between the new moon and the full moon. I took this one in Pasadena, Maryland.

LA QUINTA LUNA DABA TANTO MIEDO (era la cabeza de una dama que sintiendo la muerte cercana el billar jugaba, era grande y elegante, no era joven, no era vieja; tal vez enferma, seguramente estaba enferma porque sangraba un poco por la oreja) - Composition Tuesday

Well, I missed the very beginning of the lunar eclipse because Lindsay and I unexpectedly met this very nice lady at this bar where we were having a drink at. I love meeting random people who just brighten up your evening.
I had this idea in mind-doing multiple exposures and then putting them together in Photoshop. As much I hate doing anything but the bare minimum in Photoshop I had to use it this time Even if I had a film camera, the result would have been the same. So I don’t feel like I cheated.
I had my camera set on a tripod (a brand spanking new one btw) and snapped a photo about every few minutes. I wasn’t really paying too much attention to the time. Each exposure was about 2.5 seconds. Anyway, here is the result. If I stayed a little longer the moon would have gotten even brighter but Linds was itching to get back so she could tune into American Idol.
A 93% illuminated moon hung in the sky on January 2, 2015. The Wolf Moon occurred a few days later on January 5.
Weather meant this set of images had to be collected over a period spanning several months in 2007.
Images were taken through a 120mm F8.3 refractor by afocal projection method. Camera used was a 4 megapixel compact camera. This was my first real attempt at astrophotography through a telescope - I was very pleased with the results that could be obtained using a relatively basic setup.
I was even more delighted when the collage was published in the Hotshots section of Sky At Night Magazine :-)
