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

Mars and the moon, very early today. Mars is so tiny that I need a large screen to see it on the full picture.

Great capture, Bruno! I hoped someone here would be able to catch it, thanks for posting, all clouded out here.

Especially the mars is very well captured.  I can see its roundness and some colors instead of just a faint dot.  Congrats!

I was lucky with the weather before dawn yesterday.


I could see the full Moon, Mars (conjunction of 0.5 deg) and the bigger Pleiad stars all aligned with my bare eyes. A magic start of the day!

[Bruno Schroder]

Thank you, guys. For once, the sky was clear here, magic indeed.

The total Lunar eclipse was on tonight. The prospect looked slim here with respect to cloud cover, but I managed a few shots that were not too affected before clouds drifted in again while totality was still on. 500PF +TC-20E III wide open on Z8, tracked 10-13 sec exposures at ISO 500, except the first one 2 sec at ISO 1600, which shows the red earthshine even before totality was on.

Thanks for posting, I hoped you would post as I could not watch it here. Great pictures.

[Øivind Tøien]

Thanks, Bruno, happy that I was able to share it.

[Thomas Stellwag]

thanks a lot for these great pictures Øivind

[Ian Watson]

Excellent work, Øivind. Thank you for sharing.

[Øivind Tøien]

Thanks Thomas and Ian.


BTW, at the same time as we viewed a lunar eclipse from earth, the Firefly Blue Ghost mission captured a solar eclipse from the moon

Øivind, thank you for sharing the lunar eclipse images.  I somehow like the very first one with the excessive glow!  Also, thanks for the link!

[Øivind Tøien]

Thanks Armando and Akira.
I am also partial to the first one and the glow - It sort of looks like a huge asteroid slammed into the moon and causes the interior to glow.

Very nice series Øivind
Unfortunately it was not visible from here

[Øivind Tøien]

Thanks, Nasos.
