Snow Moon

Back around the middle of February we had what was called a snow moon I went out when it was rising around 6.45 in the evening and got a couple of photos using a 400mm lens on my

 Canon EOS 70D

 Taking looking through a tree with the moon in the clouds

 Minute later at a different setting

Later still with a cloud haze

Happy Skywatch 

Nightwatch Sky

These photos were taken over a couple of weeks of the sky at dusk with my iPhone

Long lake which you have seen during the day, you can just make out the jetty

Looking across at the moon

Over  a week later stood near my caravan with the moon and north star

Zooming out you can the solar lights off a caravan awning and the night sky

Happy Skywatch

Super moons

We have hadsome super moons over the last few months and like other people I took some as well.

Newyears eve I could not hlep takeing some photos

 There it is

 A little bit nearer

And a closer shot

So a moth later we had another

 I missed the blood moon

 and the blue moon

 but I tried to get the man in the moon

He is there somwhere.

These were all taken with my Canon Powershot SX730HS

Happy Skywatch

Moon Shoots

I bought the Canon Powershot SX730 a few weeks ago & decided to try out the zoom. Now I have taken photos of the moon before with my old SX240 but they did not come out like these

 The moon was out in the evening sky when I took these photos

 You can clearly see the craters on this view

 And more lower down

Don't think I ever noticed my photos this of the moon this clear before

This is a stitch of the last two

A week or so later I took the full moon in the night sky

Happy Skywatch

Supermoon

On Sunday evening I took this photo of the Supermoon, I used my compact on full zoom to capture it

The first few photos were in focus but the last ones were a Little shaky 

Later early in the morning I woke up and looked out the window to see the eclipse 

It was not long before it started changing red

Then darker and more red was showing

Until it was all red

Full Moon

The other week was the full moon so I thought I'd try and get a photo of it, the photos were taken with my Compact camera so I was at a loss as to how it come out.

 

The ring round the moon with clouds passing

On full zoom I was surprised I could see so much detail, not bad for a compact.
