The other week I pointed my telescope at an almost full moon, trying out the fitting to capture pictures using my phone and a moon filter I had a bit of fun looking through and seeing some pretty clear and amazing features. While I was there I thought to myself I know – I can try and create a picture composite of the whole moon from a number of photo’s.
So I took these:
As you can see they’re a bit green – this is the Moon filter, much needed because the Moon is a bit bright when trying to photograph it.

I’m a bit miffed as the bloody clever phone thought it was being useful auto adjusting the exposure – making the different light levels visible in some of the shots.
But when this is blown up there’s some pretty incredible detail… I’m chuffed but also keen to work on attempt 2.
I love skylines, so often a lens doesn’t do them justice but sometimes a wide lens and a moody sky can make a beautiful picture. I wish I could mount some of these at times…Enjoy the views!

Looks really good. The Moon is shockingly bright in a telescope. I’ve given myself a bit of eyestrain looking at it.

A spring grape you’ve captured there, Simon. Ripe and ready for tasting, or white wine making, if you ask me. Thank you for sharing these.
