I've noticed one major thing about shooting the moon, at least here in the valley. It's too hazy to take shots late at night, the haze murders the definition. The best times are as the moon rises and sets.

The moon is behind either Warbonnet or the Warrior in the third photo. The photo time stamp shows the photo was taken an hour earlier. I got the angle I wanted by running to the northeast after I saw the moon come up. I only had to go a few hundred yards to effectively "move" the moon down and left. I wish I would have also taken a wide shot with the moon in place but I didn't.

the bearings are "true" so if you take a compass, make sure you know the declination (probably nearly 13º, magnetic N is East of true North).

really nice shot Walter!
what was the lens? and the other particulars?

weather around these parts has been very limiting so I haven't been shooting the moon lately... I have an idea though!



some suggestions to others: I picked up The Nikon Field Guide by Thom Hogan somewhere along the line... it has some guidelines for shooting that can easily be translated from film to digital...

to shoot the moon start with f11 and 1/125s at ISO 100 the moon is moving across the sky and while its angular velocity isn't quite perceptible to the naked eye, you need a fast exposure to keep it from being blurred. The rule of thumb for the exposure time depends on the lens focal length, keep it fast than 1/lens length(in mm).

You have to know about "full stops" to change things around... usually you fix the speed and work the ISO and the aperture, increasing the ISO and decreasing the aperture... so going up to ISO 200 lets you go to the smaller aperture f16 and put the same light on the sensor.

This is important because the modern digital cameras have limited ranges in aperture and shutter speed.

So if you are shooting at 100 mm zoom, you want to keep your exposure faster than 1/100 s

To do this with a point and shoot is challenging. You can put the camera in "manual mode" and set the ISO, aperture and shutter speed.

Often I can put the camera on the moon and set the exposure by depressing the "shoot" button half way, then composing the shot with those settings. For late night, a tripod is important, though usually you're shooting shutter speeds that aren't so dependent on vibration.

To get Walter's shot you need to pull out all the tricks.

In Walter's shot he had a long lens (I'm guessing) and had to shot with a very fast shutter to prevent the moon's motion from blurring the surface details.

After trial and error you'll have your own set of "rules of thumb" and have a good idea of how to bend those rules.

The moon on 2/6/14 shot at 1/20th second to keep the iso number low. It's a little blurry. It's much easier to shoot a full moon to keep shutter speed high. This was getting low in the sky also. Shot with Canon SX50SH

Feb 16, 2014 - 04:38am PT
So I took advantage of expertise, went out to Moussolini Balcony, and...

Lo! no moon!
Cloud cover at midnight.
Snickers Bar as compensation.
And this fine shot of wisdom and all aglow.
No owls in the vicinity noticed me.
They were absent as the moon.
The little knurled nut that tightens the rotating handle on the elevation swivel is lost. It backed out, and this necessitates some interesting work with packing tape to hold the weight of the camera and long lens (fully extended 75-300 mm Canon and Canon EOS Rebel T3 with custome Rapala fins) from tipping off the lip.

The tripod is a gift from Ed and it's fine for all I need. I need to send off for that nut to be replaced.

This was very tricky and one had to have been there.

I was there, for once, and I kept the whole thing together, using a piece of webbing to tether the rig, which had one leg on the sill of a window into Vern's penthouse, one on the outside edge of the balcony rail, and one set on the very lip of the inside. Awkward, to say the least.

But worth it, except for the levelness and next time I will not have this Mickey Mouse set-up. Next time it will be a Goofy set-up, you can bet on that.

Again, Walter and Ed, thanks for the beta of experience.

And yes, I forgot to turn off the Manual Setting and that balcony shot is blurred as a result. The Snickers Bar helped, too. I found it all smashed but wrapper intact in the hallway going back to my "studio."

one trick to keep from pushing the button and thus shaking the camera: use the delayed exposure mode... the one you'd use if you were taking a group shot and you wanted to be in it too...

on a dSLR don't forget to run it in "mirror up" mode, with an electronic trigger timer (or an intervalometer, which is what I use mostly, toggling between "mirror up" and "expose")

my ephemera for the lunar eclipse:

this is for Livermore, CA
times should be PDT
the bearing is "true" in degrees
the altitude is in degrees
the "departure from 180º" is the angular difference between the Earth-Sun line and the Earth-Moon line. The angular diameter of the Earth (from the Moon) is 1.9º and the Moon, 0.5º, so if the departure is less than the sum of these two, 2.4º, the Moon is being eclipsed by the Earth. When this value is minimum is the time of totality.

Have fun! I have to be in Berkeley all day and might not make it back to shoot the moon.

Identification of the giant impactor Theia in lunar rocks

Daniel Herwartz, Andreas Pack, Bjarne Friedrichs, Addi Bischoff

ABSTRACT
The Moon was probably formed by a catastrophic collision of the proto-Earth with a planetesimal named Theia. Most numerical models of this collision imply a higher portion of Theia in the Moon than in Earth. Because of the isotope heterogeneity among solar system bodies, the isotopic composition of Earth and the Moon should thus be distinct. So far, however, all attempts to identify the isotopic component of Theia in lunar rocks have failed. Our triple oxygen isotope data reveal a 12 ± 3 parts per million difference in Δ17O between Earth and the Moon, which supports the giant impact hypothesis of Moon formation. We also show that enstatite chondrites and Earth have different Δ17O values, and we speculate on an enstatite chondrite–like composition of Theia. The observed small compositional difference could alternatively be explained by a carbonaceous chondrite–dominated late veneer.

HAHAHAHA!

As if I could ever forget the Luna Loon from near Dubloon, who gave me his old tripod...The ThrowPod, I call it, see? I'd like to throw it most times I need to raise the long lens above a certain level. It's held together with brown packing tape, see, and it's difficult to balance.

It calls forth the creative in me because each time I go to crank the lens upwards I need to compensate with the legs to the point the tripod tips over, which is too bad when the moon's up high in its arc.

But it's still truckin', so thanks, Ed.

BITD Moon.Moon Mullins, created by cartoonist Frank Willard (1893–1958), was a popular American comic strip which had a long run as both a daily and Sunday feature from June 19, 1923 to June 2, 1991. Syndicated by the Chicago Tribune/New York News Syndicate, the strip depicts the lives of diverse lowbrow characters who reside at the Schmaltz (later Plushbottom) boarding house. The central character, Moon (short for Moonshine), is a would-be prizefighter—-perpetually strapped for cash but with a roguish appetite for vice and high living. Moon took a room in the boarding house at 1323 Wump Street in 1924 and never left, staying on for 67 years.

Besides the fact that half of it is missing and it resembles Lembert Dome, what's wrong here?
God bless my new tripod!

If anyone was awake to see the moon at its apex tonight, it was nearly straight overhead, seemed like, anyway; and if I had needed to crank the tilt anymore I would have been shortening the back leg till I got it right or it fell backwards. This new rig lets me do all this set-up easily enough, though.

And as Walleye sagely pointed out, the real professional has this set-up by the numbers, quickly and with no second-guessing. Experience is good to have.

Technical question:
Why is there a faint bluish-greenish tint to the border of the moon's image? Is it the focus?

This is a 300mm lens (my only lens as of the other night when I got ripped off) of the older variety, not made especially for digital cameras. It's parameters are for a film camera according to Steve, the YARTS driver, who used to sell this equipment. He claimed that this lens had a larger working range than 300mm, in effect closer to 400mm.

I noticed driving up to Tuolumne on Saturday that the crescent moon at sunrise was in a beautiful near conjunction with Venus and Jupiter and I followed the moon until I lost it to the sky brightness at about 6:29am.

That would have made a very nice image... but I had only to enjoy it, which was ok... but it also got me ready for the new crescent... last night it was too low and only 2% illuminated and not possible to see.

Tonight was a possibility, but I didn't spot it until it was very low, nearly setting... at 6% illumination. Unfortunately I had the wrong lens on my camera, but I had to shot anyway, no time to change...


Tomorrow night you should see a beautiful crescent moon, so get ready.

here is mine, i got it just about ... hmmm... 15?? min. ago?





here is another color of it, less lit up:




oh wow, yes, and it did actually look reddish, by this time...
i was surprised...
:)


edit:
could not get any of the reddish moon, later,
did not show up in camera... was nearly light outside here, too...
it all was just black night color and street lights, though it was dawn...

(oops, is not... it is the second or last pic, i took,
the heart shape of trees is not there, in the same position)

i hit: auto brightness and that is what happened, otherwise,
the pic was all black and DARK DARK treens, an a hint of moon...
oh my... :O



the second one, i tried to make darker so it might look more real, as to the eye...

:))


sure wish they were clearer... :(
in the past, i have done this and they were pretty clear...

though, perhaps their was moisture in the air, sometimes that makes the light not filter right... i think??

while the lakes are in the Central Valley, the view goes out to the coast, and also to the Sierra Crest...

this is the spectacular view point at the Williams Peak fire lookout (constructed in 1935 and basically being left to rot).



From the Coast Range horizon across the Central Valley
In the foreground is Lake McClure, on the right side of the photo, Don Pedro Reservoir, the two lakes in the mid-ground are just east of Waterford (unnamed on Google Earth)...

The ridge under the Moon is Volpe Ridge, and the Sun set near Mount Vaca...


To the Sierra Crest (including a little valley we all know)

There seems to be some confusion about which moon we are posting.
No biggie.
This appeared in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, something may have happened.

In, like, 1977. In Harrison convertible Ford's Galaxy at the drive-in, maybe.

Wait, something is happening and I don't know what 'tis...

I saw the movie on DVD tonight on a 4K curved screen in the hi-def augmented super-duper-plus Blue Ray Hoo Ray-eliminating version. I learned how to spell Leia and not much else happened except I played with the camera while doing so.

Took this tonight at North Lake Tahoe. 2 exposures blended together to retain detail of the moon while keeping the foreground visible.
