[prokyon]

Hi,

preparing myself for the eclipse, I enjoyed the rising of the full moon:

But it became more and more cloudy, this is the last pic I could make:

The 3 stars are 42, 44 and 45 Cap.

Both pics made with 350d and Pentax75SDHF.

cheers

Wow absolutely love the first one and the second one too is nice and sharp.

Great work.

That first one would make a terrific poster.
Nice work.

Awesome moon rise! I always try to get a nice shot like this but my timing usually sucks or the moon will rise right behind something!
cheers

I was long waiting for a chance to make a pic like this.
Don`t stop lieing in wait. ;)
