Took this early Wednesday morning 27th, when Mars was at close approach 99.3 million kilometers away.
Rain and clouds tonight...just damn.
Photographers: Help!
What is the proper exposure to get the face of the moon exposed correctly so you can see the “Man in the Moon”?
Everything is translatable, so give it to me in whatever form you know to be correct.
My equipment is Nikon F3HP, 300mm f4.5, with Velvia 50 on a Manfrotto 55.
If you have any advice on capturing that “face,” I’d sure appreciate it.
Should be crystal clear, here. It’s been bloody COLD! -5 this morning when I got up. Brrrrr!
I can’t wait to see it! Thanks for the reminder. The dogs and I will bundle up and take an evening stroll to ‘The Back Forty’ for the show. :)
Beautiful moon rising here tonight. Very clear, very, very cold night. It’s gorgeous.
Some music to get us in the mood; ‘Pink Moon’ by Nick Drake:

Knock it off wolf girl:)We just return from dinner and I said to my husband”Look at the moon”Our night is clear and the moon is so big.If it wasn’t so cold would have a glass of wine out side to enjoy it.Thank you Father.((((((Hugs)))))
Great view with crystal clear skies in the People’s Republic of New England this evening; IF you don’t mind freezing your *** completely off...
Oh suuuuuure. I lived in Michigan for 30 years and missed nearly every interesting astronomical event due to clouds. Now I miss another one because of a snow storm. I am just NOT meant to watch the skies.
So funny you posted this, after dinner I was sitting in the living room and I could see the full moon through our drapes.. I commented on that to my husband..
I went and took one more look after reading this post...mars is its bright red self.. thanks for the info
It sure was a whopper as it rose! Mars is up there too, good to know, wondered which planet that was.
