My attempt at shooting the full moon last night. I had a 500mm lens to play with, but alas my focus was foiled by my cheap tripod. Still, I'm pretty happy with the result.

This mornings rising crescent moon + earth shine.
Canon T1i, 560mm via 70-200 L + TC's, ISO 200, 2 sec, Tripod - non tracking

 

[mtbdudex]

Last nights full moon, cloudy at 7:30pm - missed the penumbra lunar eclipse, at 10:50pm a break in clouds so took these.
Each is 1min 40 sec apart on fixed tripod, T1i + 70-200mm @ 560mm via TC's stacked.

Just came back from 2 weeks in Japan, missed the full moon, this taken 6-14-2014 4:40am with my new 70D

 

[mtbdudex]

Happy Fathers day!
These are 9 images taken 2 minutes apart this morning 4:45am EDT, then simply "stacked" on top of each other.

I used my new 70D with the following exposure settings:
Lens: Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM + 1.4x TC, so 280mm effective length
ISO 100, f8, 1/250 speed, tripod.

In Post Processing:
I use Apple Aperture, sharpening/detail set to 0.6, definition 0.3, curves to set the greyscale point, edge sharpen 0.2.
Barely cropped the image on LH side to balance the RH side, that's it.

Pretty much my standard moon PP, I have that saved for quick apply.

Blood red moon & composite images via SE Michigan Oct-8-2014

The whole family enjoyed watching the full moon transition into the blood red moon.
Below the multi-moon shots are composites of 2 minute exposures, so you can see moon movement in the sky and the eclipse increasing.

Blood red moon just before it set behind the tree line.
I needed my tracking scope to capture this crisply, as this is a 1/8th second exposure and moon motion blurs the image slightly.

these exposures 2 minutes apart

these exposures are 4 minutes apart, actually I just did not include every other 2 minute exposure from the other composite

these exposures 2 minutes apart, nearing totality.

The moon looked funny early this morning.

I suspect that the gods were angry with us, but now they seem to be pacified again.

 

[Badrottie]

Nice moon pictures I gotta try with my new Canon SX50 HS!!

Last night's eclipse from Auckland...

 

[Meister]

Thanks for sharing everyone!

Yesterday all I had with me was my iPhone and Mamiya 67rb pros with a roll of b/w ilford 75, a 127mm and a flimsy tripod - really weird setup for moon shots. I am anxious to see how those turned out.

Taken on 9/7/2014. *Almost* full moon (1 night before, but was cloudy on the actual full moon).

Nikon D810, 80-400mm @ 400 mm, f/8, 1/320 sec, ISO 64. Heavily cropped (obviously).

 

[anotherscotsman]

not a supermoon

First attempt at moon capture. Limited lens length availability - this was at 300mm end of Canon 75-300 zoom, 1/320s f5.6. Obviously heavily cropped with additional contrast boost. Comments always appreciated.

Amazing shots guys, wow. I'm thinking of buying the 55-210mm from my NEX-6. Basically, it's a 315mm equivalent. Do you think it'll be enough to get a nice moon shot?

Crescent moon (with earth shine), Venus on the right and Mars lower left (Red dot) Sept-10 morning 5:53am rising above the treeline.
After I took this realized lens aperture not fully open so Venus has that diffraction look going on .....
Took this with my Canon 70D and 70-200L mkII lens at 70mm.
Manual mode, 1.6 sec exposure, ISO 3200

Honestly it's an "oops" moment, I always shoot wide open with my lens, I can't remember ever seeing these diffraction spikes from the aperture pedals of the lens.

Lunar eclipse 9/27/2015 composite SE Michigan
This is my 1st composite of the night, taken on fixed tripod, these are 2 minutes apart, 10:44pm - 11:06pm.
Canon 70D, 70-200mm L @ f2.8, ISO 3200, 1/15 sec each.

Hartland, Michigan, USA.

This is my 2nd composite of the night, taken on fixed tripod, these are 2 minutes apart, 11:10pm - 11:34pm.
Image is taken as leaving totality, so you can see the transition.
Canon 70D, 70-200mm L @ f2.8, ISO 800, 1/8 sec each.

Finally got around to making a video clip of the images.

 

[Mark0]

A couple of my efforts. Taken on a DSLR attached to a 8" Newtonian Reflector Telescope.

I viewed the September 28 eclipse through moderately thick clouds. I was still able to capture the eclipse at totality, but the reddish color was only visible to the camera. The eclipse started out with clearing skies, but the clouds really rolled in during and after the totality, and completely obscured the finish. The best showing for me is still the lunar eclipse of February 2008.

Moon over Sedona by Christian Werth, on Flickr

 

[mtbdudex]

^^^ spectacular B&W scene over Sedona.
I used to ride the MTB trails there in the middle-late 1990's, hung out with the "Mountain Bike Heaven" crew then.
Here's (2) from a film pano camera late 1996 , members of the Sedona-5 included
That's me on the left with Dangerous Dave in the middle.
Hanging with these guys a few weekends taught me to "Play" again in my mid 30's.
