An almost Supermoon :)

[lazjen (Chris)]

Tonight was clouded out for me, but last night I was messing around, mostly sorting out software and the new focuser (not quite there yet).

Took some "almost" supermoon shots along the way.



Larger size and different processing can be seen off my Google+ page, at this post: Almost Supermoon

I took this photo using the EOS 6D and the GSO RC10. The Moonlite focuser (with the motorised controller) was helpful, when I used it through BackyardEOS.

Camera settings: ISO 100, 1/250 sec. The shot was borderline on exposure, but being a bit underexposed is preferable and easy to manage in post-processing.

Well done Chris, looks good.

Beautiful work Chris.

Reminds of gazing at it last night through my refractor with wife and a friend of hers. "What are those bubbles down the bottom?" I was asked

Nice one, what settings did you use?

[lazjen (Chris)]

Thanks all.

Rob: Maybe I can get some better "bubble" shots next time.

Marios: I'll update the first post with the details.
