Full Moon – 12/29/2020

Full Moon – 12/29/2020 – Providence, RI

Last full moon of the year and it was a beauty! While attempting to get some additional data on some targets through the telescope (an adventure in itself with a bright full moon) I was able to take quite a few exposures of the Moon. This full moon is also known as “The Cold Moon.”

Nikon CoolPix P950
2000mm | 1/1250s | f/8.0 | 400 ISO
30 light frames and 20 dark frames stacked in AutoStakkert and processed in Photoshop

The Moon – 7/29/08

This will probably be the last pics of the Moon for awhile, unless I can get one more set tomorrow morning. Because of the “smaller” nature of the Moon, there are fewer pictures this time – simply, not much of the Moon to photograph! Also, pleas keep in mind, just as when the Moon is full and is hard to focus, the smaller the moon gets the harder it is to focus as well.

The Moon – 7/28/08

Here is my some pictures of the Moon from this morning. I apologize for having none from yesterday, but it was cloudy and I was not able to get any shots. I thought I was going to have the same problem this morning, but the clouds finally rolled away around 4:30am. Here is four of my first shots. I am going to give three sizes this time. The largest, which is 1200 x 800 is specifically done for computer desktop backgrounds. Which, btw – if you are using any of my pictures as backgrounds, etc, I’d love to hear from you and know which ones… just because I am curious!

Moon Phases – 7/24/08 – 7/26/08

Here is three pictures showing the changes in the phase of the Moon. Even though only three days have passed, it is pretty neat to see how much the phase changes in that short period of time! Also, note the amount of detail that shows up with each passing picture.
