Special: Moon + Jupiter

Wazza · 16th of June 2005 (Thu)

Was told on the news today, about a rare occurrence of Jupiter passing behind the moon. Apparently it's not due to be visible here again for about 70 years.

Of course, I was there to photograph it.

Just before disappearing

Fading away

Reappearance

A rare BLUE MOON.

And a slightly larger image: (Click)

There's been no cheating in these images, such as double exposures or brightening Jupiter. They are as is. Just a overall level change slightly, and a bit of USM.

I've also put together a few recent shots in the past 3 days to:

Great shots. Looked out earlier and noticed Jupiter and the Moon close together. Didn't realise that the moon had passed in front though. Glad you caught it. !

RockOne · 16th of June 2005 (Thu)

Forgot to ask...were these with the 400mm ? or the scope ?.

Wazza · 16th of June 2005 (Thu)

Scope. These are mostly resizes rather than crops.

RockOne · 16th of June 2005 (Thu)

Thanks. I did see that on you r website after I asked the question

. Very nice shots though !

MattL · 16th of June 2005 (Thu)

Wow, cool shots. I stood for a second on my doorstep and looked up. my 300mm wont get me that close

Would you post a pic of your scope setup?

In other news, im off to piha tomorrow to have a gander. Hopefully i can have my try at some surfie shots.

Amazing shots. How long the entire process lasted?

Oh wow! nice series Wazza!
Mark your calendar for the next occurance. Hyper-tele lens should be cheaper then.

cc3chan · 16th of June 2005 (Thu)

Cool, didn't even know that happened. I'm also interested in the scope setup with the camera.

Wazza · 16th of June 2005 (Thu)

Thanks, but it only happened in certain parts of the world. Such as North of Brisbane, and it lasted from 6:20 till about 7:30.

In 70 years, I would say the atmosphere would be too polluted, and would have to take shots from space.

Wazza · 16th of June 2005 (Thu)

The scope setup:

Fascinating! Great shots. It is an amazing universe.

Sicily1918 · 16th of June 2005 (Thu)

That's great! You can even see Jupiter's bands and red spot!

Bald Eagle · 16th of June 2005 (Thu)

Very impressive set-up on the scope. oh, and the photos are fantastic.

RockOne · 16th of June 2005 (Thu)

Wazza, is that a piggyback mounting on top of that scope?. Put the wide angle on it and get a full sku 'milky way' photo. Or is Auckland too light polluted for long exposures ?.
