Can't get any thinner

This one is from June 2020

Nikon 1V1 + FT-1 + 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G AF-P DX VR IF-ED zoom-Nikkor

The V1, though being a 2011 project, works with AFP lenses (and does AF and VR, too).

Ciao from Massimo

Lovely subtle arrangement here Massimo.

  I also enjoy the dual eclipse post!

Lots of detail in this one! Very effective slicing illumination, gives depth to the craters.

Here's a casual plane trajectory which intercepted the moon and then changed course.
I didn't edit out the roof corner, as the plane looked like heading for it in its awkward course...
The next minute, the moon had already moved out of the trailing path of the plane.
Like the other antenna picture, I waited for the good moment when the moon would be at the right place, with the plane still within the frame.

Looks like it aimed for the moon, and then continued on its course!

That's exactly what I was trying to make it happen!

Actually the plane had already passed, leaving its trail, and the moon (moving L to R) caught up on the plane trail just in time! Probably not a commercial flight...

Bump on the tripod

While taking a sequence of the moon, a little bump on the tripod had this little effect... This is what happens at 1/40" with just a little bump: a moon tube!

Nikon D810 and the Reflex-Nikkor 1000mm f/11.
One picture taken is far better than none!

From last evening. This is the first photo of the moon I've made.

D850 500 f4D IF ED + TC-14E II. Raw conversion and basic adjustments were done with Photo Ninja, then the image was tweaked in Capture One, run through Topaz Sharpen AI (sharpening backed off to less than 1/3 of the "recommended" value, and noise suppression  set to over 5 times the "recommendation." The "improvement" due to use of Topaz Sharpen AI is, in this instance, very modest.
