[Theme] Show us your best moon (and solar system) images

[Tersn]

Of course hardly anything beats a real telescope if one want to study the surface of the moon. Here a repost from the old forum, captured by aligning my 55mm f/3.5 micro to the eyepiece of a telescope during an astronomy party, on a rather wobbly tripod arrangement that I had to keep readjusting. I kept the inverted image projected through the telescope.

Hard to beat a telescope, yes. However, your AW! images are pretty sharp too. Keep in mind that the Moon moved about 12.5 m during your 1/80 s exposure  (Guess the resolution is of magnitude km rather than meters.)

Seeing all these lovely lunar photos I have decided never to shoot it again

Thanks for further comments and contributions.
Don't let this thread be limited to images of the face of the moon. For instance landscape images where the moon is a predominant element is of course also lunar images, if not in the astronomical sense. A couple of examples that was previously posted inn the old forum:

[Jørgen Ramskov]

I believe you have posted these last two before somewhere? Wonderful shots!

[Øivind Tøien]

Thanks for the kind comment. Sure, as stated it was posted in the old forum before. 

[Øivind Tøien]

The slightly past full moon showed through a light cloud cover tonight and I could not resist.

[Peter Connan]

Those two landscapes are absolutely beautiful!

[Asle F]

Two moons, actually it the same moon over the sea

The first over the Greenland sea. This one could also be in the minimalist images thread.

The second from King Oscard Fjord at north-east Greenland.

Very nice, Asle. I really like the color tones over the Greenland Sea.


Thanks for the kind comment, Peter.

Asle, that is a beautiful moon shot with pleasant color and reflection!

And this is the moon over Tokyo.

The forum will never have a LIKE button. However, feel entirely free to describe in detail to the audience the reasons we should like a given photo.
