Crescent moon and Mercury as seen a few nights ago. Venus had set below the hills a few minutes earlier. Not a great shot, but “the camera you have…” and all that.

Not surprisingly, the moon’s a lot farther away than that tree.

Shooting the moon
I need to get back to following astronomy again. I was surprised to see the Moon and Venus so close to each other, and only had my phone with me. #stargazing #moon #venus #conjunction #NightSky #tree

Looking…up?…at the moonrise over a rooftop.

Tonight’s #crescent #moon. One shot for the daylit crescent, the other for the night side lit by #EarthShine (with some clouds as a bonus). 8YO helped with focusing the telephoto lens.
The second shot is a lot noisier than I’d like since I was adjusting levels on the jpeg, but I have the raw file, so maybe I’ll be able to do something better with it.
The western horizon was blocked at sunset…but the view upward wasn’t!

Tonight’s waxing crescent moon. It’s passing in front of the Hyades star cluster right now, which I’d love to get a photo of, but the moon’s just waaay too bright to capture the background stars!

Tonight’s moon. Looks like it will be full in a few days.
Very cool! A view of the far side of the moon and Earth beyond it…

Waning #moon, taken with the settings I *should* have used for the eclipse on Sunday.
I like taking photos of the moon when it’s between phases (rather than full) because you get to see the most texture in it at those times.
It wasn’t quite this red to the eye, it was more of a deep brown…
The evening was hectic, and I almost forgot about the #LunarEclipse. I had literally just put my son to bed when I remembered, “The #eclipse!” We went out to see if the sky was clear.
Clouds were rushing across the sky, but for the most part, it was clear, and we had a perfect view of the #moon looking like a dark brown chunk of rock in the sky.
(Then I spent 10 minutes fighting with camera settings while he went back to bed.) #BloodMoon
Oh wow, this is an amazing photo! And the moon wasn’t nearly so red here, so it’s cool you got to see that.
Thank you! It wasn’t quite this red to the eye, it was more of a deep brown, maybe slightly brick red. Probably a matter of retina sensitivity vs. camera sensors.
I went back out about an hour later to look at it as it left totality, too, and caught these photos: https://hyperborea.org/journal/2019/01/lunar-eclipse-jan2019/

I went back out about an hour later to check out the view as the moon left the earth’s shadow, and caught these two photos, taken about the same time with different exposures so that you can see either the lit portion of the moon, or the part that’s still in the earth’s shadow.

The evening was hectic and I almost forgot the #LunarEclipse. I remembered in the middle of totality, and ran out to check. Clouds were racing across the sky, but we still had a clear view of the deep red moon.

I suggest that a deep orange moon right before Christmas be called a #PumpkinPieMoon.

I was coming home shortly after sunset, got to the top of a hill and saw this deep orange moon, flattened near the horizon. By the time I found a place to stop, it had risen high enough that it was mostly round.
Composite of a background shot (the moon was waay too bright!) and a close-up of the #moon. I apparently moved a little bit, so the wire passing in front of it doesn’t line up exactly. #photography
Obviously I should’ve said “zoom” and not “close-up” of the moon… 🤦♂️
