not perfect, but at least the sky cleared up

Wow. You're using a much better lens than me. I guess F6 at 300mm is pushing it for moon shots - or did you use bounce-flash

Gaaaah! What a wonderful shot! You got the orange glow very nicely. And the stars. Wow. You must be really thrilled with that shot. Talk about the sky 'clearing up'!!

love the pano crop
wished I'd stayed out in the cold now, still I got a good full moon shot so that can't be bad

Did it right from the balcony of my flat, so I could always get back in ... had a bottle of red with me.. but forgot to put on my shoes as I realised this morning

Excellent pano shot! :hail:

That's a great idea an I may have to pinch it for one of my crops later tonight when I go through the rest of my digitals!

Oh my! I think it not quite fair that you can take photos like these with a bottle of wine under your belt, when I can't even come close stone sober!

I realised when I woke up that I was using ISO100. If I'd remembered to up the speed to 800 I think I would have got better shots. Oh well, I'll have to wait for the next eclipse.

Wow, I really like this one. The stars in the sky adds a nice touch, very clear also!

I have only a 150 mm lense, and I don't even have a tripod yet, so I couldn't take a picture of the eclipse. August, I suppose!
