Got out between the cloud and took a few moon snaps with the 400L lense then put in the 10-22Zoom for a wide angle pic when all of a sudden I noticed a bright light I took 3 pics 25s,42s,25s@ISO 1600.I couldn,t believe it went straight across the moon.Did anyone else see it.Hope you enjoy the pic.Total cloud and wind now.

Nice work Derek. I looked out of the bedroom window at around 4:00am and saw cloud so went back to sleep. Woke up at 5:30am and the skies were clear, but too late to set up.

Cheers

Hi Derek
I like the Mood of the images! Any idea what crossed the Moon?

Cool

I wonder if anyone got some higher res images - I think the Moon was Waning so may have been a hard capture!

Nice work Derek! I was out capturing the ISS and conjunction as well, but the ISS was a bit further away from the Moon as viewed from Brisbane.

(I'm just about to post my pics.)

Cheers,
Stephen
