Newish Moon with Saturn in attendance.

[Captain Scarlet]

Quick shot of lovely Moon early evening with a bit of earthshine and Saturn in attendance just below, taken from 2nd floor bedroom window, Sunbury on Thames this evening at 1709.

Canon EOS 6D with 24-70/2.8L, exposure 1 frame at  1/8 sec f/2.8 ISO400

Lovely shot Magnus, looks great set against that cloud bank and the trees.

My favorite kind of moon shot, well captured realism...indeed. Extra points for the nice blue sky and cloud inclusions ?

That’s a cracker. Well captured.

Thanks all for the kind comments. I did also get a fair few shots at various exposure values through my 143mm frac* , but they need more processing than I had time yesterday. I'll try to get something up this week...

One single-still from my 400mm Canon lens on an EOS 7Dmk2: 1/60 sec at f/2.8 and ISO 400, on a tripod.

Given it was taken through an open bedroom window with warm air flowing out, I'm quite pleased to have got, at close inspection, definite signs of Saturn's rings; and all the things I wanted without having to create a composite: the Earthshine (just), not-too-overexposed Lunar detail, and a definite Saturn.

Cheers, Magnus
