The Official Shoot the Moon Thread

I don't believe in coincidences, especially things related to celestial objects. Just like Jupiter being there has great influence on our lives here on earth, and a host of other fun facts.

Good info, thank you!

I don't either. . There's nothing coincidental about any of the things that exist in our universe. . Nice to know I'm not the only one here who thinks that way.

Well that now makes 3 of us. Where I’m from this is a very deep belief, the time of birth and planetary positions relating to that determine our lives.

Well that is a totally different angle than what I believe, but I do understand what you are saying.

We need a moon thread that is just using digital cameras instead of telescopes, I really enjoy seeing the closeups, but then I keep wishing I had money to buy telescopic equipment instead of investing in my camera gear.

I have seen some very impressive hand tracked lunar and planetary photos taken with very affordable Dobsonian telescopes.

This morning's crescent over Brisbane.

WAXING CRESCENT

Heya,

Today was a First Quarter phase, depending how close you are you can capture the Lunar V & X features (crater rims) illuminated at the terminator at different points through the phase. I had a sucker hole between clouds and was able to get it at 53% illumination. Visually it was fun to see as the "X" feature was floating in darkness at this illumination. The following disc is a high resolution mosaic, please feel free to see the full scale version on my Flickr or Astrobin. The resolution is 426 meters per pixel represented. Seeing was average, so I captured the data in 742nm IR wavelength.

Lunar V feature:

With a 1st Quarter Moon outside, I had to put the EOS R and my new (today) RF 600mm F11 lens on a tripod and grab my 1st Moon shot with the new lens.

It did not disappoint.

I have also attached a "colour saturated" version, where the blue and red hues indicate Titanium and Iron rich regions of the Moon.

Cheers

Dennis

NOTE: although lens data shows "600mm F4" from POTN - this is incorrect. Actual lens is "Canon RF 600mm F11"

I really like the color Dennis!
