Lunar ring

[AstroDC]

Outstanding ring around the moon tonight, and within the ring...bright clear(ish) moon and the ever-glorious jupiter. Really makes me wish I had a good camera and nice wide angle lens. (Must add to shopping list!)

Anyone taken any pictures??

[Davey-T]

Took a pic of it earlier with 60Da and Canon 20mm, had to do it in two halves though.

I did...but I'm having enormous trouble figuring out how i can upload images into posts that aren't hosted elsewhere..

[AstroDC]

That's good news guys, look forward to seeing the pics when you upload! I took a few with a camera I had to hand but not expecting great things from a point-and-shoot!!

Also thats jupiter sitting boldly to the left.

Here's one my brother took from East Sussex.

Thats just what it looked like from here as well - thanks for posting that one Stu

The GRS transit and Io's disappearance were the highlights on Jupiter this evening but there was just a little too much hazy cloud here to allow my 4" frac to cut through to see more than that. But the conditions gave us that lunar halo to enjoy so I'm not ungrateful

Lovely wasn't it?

Just about got it with the iPhone.....

[Star-Lord]

I just about managed to get it on my Nexus 6 smartphone. Unfortunately there is a streetlamp that was just destoying most photos.

That would be Nibiru next to the Sun I guess

Well spotted sir, I was wondering whether anyone would notice it [emoji6][emoji12]

It was a spectacular view last night... the sky was pretty poor because of it, of course. We had a good view of it after the Adur AS meet. I shot a 2 pane pano of it when I got home..

I managed a sketch

[jgs001]

Excellent Shane, and a much greater dynamic range then the camera... you've got detail on the moons surface

I saw this as well last night. Really impressive so much so that Mrs B came down from bed to see it! Thanks for sharing your pictures.....sadly I am not at the big expensive camera stage yet.

I saw some superb images on twitter this morning, but the clouds/snow stopped any chance of seeing it last night.
