A bad moon rising

[geppetto]

Well a good moon really...

Nipped up the road to image the rising moon from an east facing vantage point.

Sadly, there was a bank of cloud on the horizon so I didn't get the shot of the

moon near the ground that I wanted.

Still, it popped out fairly quickly and was showing glorious colours from the low level

atmosphere. A lovely sight indeed... 8)

WO 66mm Petzval Nikon D40 prime focus all propped up on a gate post

1/10 second ISO 400.

Lovely image matey!

You know what they say about best laid plans.

If you have gone up there in passing there woul have been no cloud and you'd be kicking yourself

Really nice colour to that!

Nice shot Phil, 8)

Managed to miss the same view, clouds close to horizon.

Never mind.

Very nice. Looked that colour from here also.

Was that an Alt/Az gate post you used?
