A couple of weeks ago on evening I looked out the kitchen window and noticed the evening star and a crescent moon, no need to say what I did next
Up to the bathroom window for a couple of photos with my phone
Zooming in you could see the star and the moon clearer though I little grainy but really what do you expect using a phone on full zoom
Lets try it again with a camera
I only used the medium zoom I had with this which was 230mm but it shows the moon sharper
Change over to portrait mode
and crop it a little, Could have been a little closer but beggars can't be choosers
Happy Skywatch
Nice shots, that's a handy bathroom window you have there.
ReplyDeleteBetter than on the ground floor
DeleteBeautiful photos, Bill. Makes me wonder if maybe that star is a planet. Here we've been seeing the moon with Venus, and sometimes on a very rare clear night, the moon with Saturn and Mars as well.
ReplyDeleteCould not tell you but you could be right about Venus
Delete...did you made a wish on the star?
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, and impressive that you captured them using your phone!
ReplyDeleteSome were with my R6 and zoom but was pleased with the phone ones
DeleteWonderful captures.
ReplyDeleteThank you William
DeleteLooks like the moon was trying to catch the star and hoping to put it in its pocket. ( I'm going to have that tune in my head for hours now).
ReplyDeleteAh I thought it was "Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket"
DeleteNice photos. I love it when there's just a thin sickle of moon like that.
ReplyDeleteYes though It is a shame they were not closer together.
Deleteit's not easy to capture a star, great job!
ReplyDeleteYour phone takes great night time pictures. Mine, not so much.
