A Moon and A Star

[blur]

This was what I saw last night.

And yes, that's a star on the left. I wish I could have captured the shining glitter from the star like how I saw it.

I really liked the shape of the moon that night. And that it had a shining star close to it. But I think it would have been even nicer if I had taken these earlier when the sky was still dark navy blue. That was when I spotted them, but too bad I had to wait until I got home before I could take pics of it :(

And these are a close-up crops of the moon, taken at different shutter speeds and apertures

Got craters :D

These pics were captured using the 90-300mm lens, zoomed to the max. On a tripod, using a release cable. No major processing done on these pics, only resizing and (major) cropping :).

Yeah I saw the same thing too, when the sky was midnight blue with a star right next to the moon.

Was intriguing.

I didn't get chance to shoot it either.

Nice captures you've got with the kit you used, really need 500-600mm focal length on a crop cam to get a decent shot of the moon.

Yeah, 500/600mm :D But hopefully then that my neighbours won't be thinking that I'm spying on them *LOL*
