Luna 'X'

[brian nordstrom]

Got my first luna 'X' tonight , high hazy cloud so I had to switch my cell phone to ' Tungsten '

Long Perng 110mm f6 APO , 14mm TV Radian and Google pixel 2 hand held .

Only cropped to bring in the 'X'

In the cropped version it looks a bit like a Noughts and Crosses game that is currently going badly for the Noughts!

Look forward to see your next pic with a second Cross showing how the game progresses.

Nice capture Brian! :)

I also get a thrill when I see the X as it is a short lived apparition.

You may also notice that there is a second X just a little bit to the left that is a little more squished. This squished X I thought was the more accepted one a few years ago when I sketched it. It was only when I was finishing off the sketch that I spotted the "fatter" one! :lol:

:D Thanks guys , yes average shots for sure but its harder than most realise to capture as it's only visable for a few hours every cycle and we don't get to see it here every time .

Alex , now you mention it , yes I see the other one , funny that , that until someone points something out we don't see it , and yes Ross , naughts and crosses for sure :lol: .
