Fab pic!

Wisdom is what you realise to be true about 20 years after someone older and wiser tried to tell you...

Clear view from Germany. But it was quite cold. :S
I shoot every minute one photo, from 02:10 to 05:23.

Is it possible to deactive the automatic compression of images in the forum here, please? The images are compressed already.

Thanks Angela & I wasn't kidding about the clicking :-)
We have a Nikon that makes a right noise when zooming in & out, what I found strange was the focusing, at the beginning of the night as the dark shadow approached it was fine as seen here but as you can see from my previous picture...once it reached roughly half way all hell broke out and it looked like the Moon had clashed and been welded to the Sun...Amazing, Brilliant but I couldn't for some reason get a clear lock on and they are a little out of focus :-( I wonder if that was due to this amazing light that can be seen?

Looks like Stan had no such problem...that is an absolute BEAUTY Stan, Cheers (i wish I'd have got one like that...the best I could do can be seen below)

Probably may best of the night (but sadly still a little out of focus...even switching to manual for some reason didn't quiet correct it)
But what a great event, a joy to witness.

Just recently acquired my first telescope and have been trying out astrophotography. Here are a few pics I've taken of the moon...

ohhhh nice Fozia.

Photo 3 is strangely wonderful (similar to live footage shots from the Apollo missions as they got closer in) you've captured the craters well and that shadow in pic three is eerie.
