hjw Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Like half the world we were treated to a lunar eclipse and a Mars opposition this morning. It was spectacular! I was hoping to get the actual moon set as a blood moon but the light pollution of a 3.5 million city and a sunrise did its best to ruin this idea. Shortly after this shot the moon became invisible. Still, having the eclipse over the city lights made getting up early on a weekend worthwhile! Pentax K-30, 70-300mm lens @70mm, 3second exposure ISO800. Clear skies!

LukeSkywatcher Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Love it. I love the connection between Earth and space in it. Also the clouds. Clouds can be a good thing in astro images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clouds can be a good thing in astro images. I would never have thought that the day would come where I say: "The clouds in an astro image look good." It's just not meant to be like this. And yet, this was the only image of the night with clouds and it was my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
