The Moon

Just happened to have my camera in the car and was able to capture this image on my way home from work.

Nice! The moon almost looks elongated, is that the word? A great, moody shot.

Moon was lovely tonight - so grabbed a couple of shots - the second one includes a star - which I am struggling to work out what it is.

That would be the gas giant Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System.

Thanks Dennis, I did wonder - but it seemed too far away compared to the app I was using!

No worries, the celestial view I posted above was as it would have looked from Brisbane at the local time I set, so the view from your place at your local time would look slightly different.

These were taken through my Celestron C9.25 Edge HD telescope at the primary focus using a Player ONE Saturn SQR mono CMOS camera. The telescope has a 235mm dia mirror at F10 which gives a FL=2350mm.

The crops are the best 25% from 5000 frame movie files processed using Autostakkert!3, Wavesharp and PS CC.

The conditions were not very good with thin low cloud, a low Moon and unstable atmospherics from a tropical cyclone building up off the E coast.
