I very nearly used a seagull until I noticed that I used one a couple of weeks ago. I am hoping to get better shots of the moon very soon. A friend of mine, Steve, (Please go follow him, he is new to photography and I think he is doing really well) has told me about an adaptor that I can fix to my telescope along with a threaded barlow lens (telescope fitting) which will allow me to use the telescope as a lens. The excitement is real when I think of the shots I could get of Saturn, of Jupiter, and the moon. I remember seeing Jupiter for the first time in my old telescope – I left it out too long and it got rusty, but Steve, being the fantastic friend that he is, gave me a new body for the scope – the first time I saw Jupiter, I thought I could see stars near it, and I shrieked like a 4 year old when I realised that what i was looking at was four of Jupiter’s moons. If I stared hard, I could also see the big red storm as well, but it looked dark rather than red.
This moon shot is one of my favourite from the last week.

Week 27
A fantastic shot.
Thanks very much Kim 🙂
Awesome!
I know the feeling of such glee. It’s a wonderful feeling. 🙂
It is. And it’s something that will stay for a long long time
I love this shot.. and the other moon shot from your balcony. I need to know more about how to put my camera on the correct settings to get such a shot also! Gorgeous darlin! Simply gorgeous!! 😉
I think this would have been better with the settings my other photo had. This one had:
Shutter speed 1/125
F Stop F-16
ISO 800
No flash
Thank you!! I wrote these down and the other settings too! I can’t wait to try them. Here in Texas you have to get the moon as it rises to get them best I think. I will try next month at the next full moon. It comes up before the sun goes down this time of year so that might be interesting. Might need to wait until fall to get good ones. The darker the sky the better I read…
The next moon is a “Blue Moon” Two moons in one month. It is full on 30th/31st
That’s what I saw this morning. I was looking at the calendar
😀
To see when the next full moon is coming around…. 🙂
I’m hoping to have my new adapter by then
beautiful!
Thanks Ute 🙂
