A few photos I took before, during and after the 'supermoon' eclipse earlier this morning.

My first ever attempt at astronomical photography - I struggled a bit with the movement of the moon during the longer exposure shots, but quite pleased for a first attempt smile

Before:


During:


After:








PS/. I didn't screw up on the white balance on the last shot - the moon did actually go yellow!

My pictures nearly suffered from falling conkers - one hit me on the shoulder from the horse chestnut tree in the garden (bl**dy hurt when they're still in their casings!). At least you can't get malaria from them hahaha

Ajay, Alicatt, CG2015 - thanks for your comments / feedback smile

Very nice shots there FlatEric! thumbsup

Those pics are so detailed and clear that I think I spotted the top secret Nazi base on the surface.
