Okay, this is more like it!
Really hard though to get a good picture. I have to take 8-second exposures because of the haze and my monopod is useless for that, so I had to position the camera carefully on the garbage bin and press down really hard to restrict the movement.
It's clouded over again right now.
Bourne...That is a stunning photo, is that yours, and was it from the August eclipse?
well it was a frosty +1 outside,
but i got my 2 kids and a chum
who was hanging out to accompany
me outside to get a good look at
the night sky as the eclipse became total......
such a spectacular sight
saturn and regulus were highly visible
and the rest of the sky was crisp and
stunningly dramatic!!
my 14 YO and i drove to the lake
to spend a shivering quarter hour
in a bonding experience
( i told her that years from now
when she is telling future generations
of my descendants about the experience
she will say: she DRAGGED me out
in arctic cold to look at the MOON!)
a truly delightful evening!
Watched it, did you also check out the nice shot of Saturn.
In my neighborhood, the parents got their kids out too to see the eclipse, but mostly went back inside when there wasn't anything to see. I focused so much on the eclipse that I forgot to look for the Hubble Space Telescope going overhead...prolly not a good night to see it anyway.
I will have to download from BB"s PC tomorrow. My PC doesn't load pics for some reason GGGRRRRRR!
I'll bttt tomorrow with pics.
Did you get your pictures up?
It was cloudy and rainy here . 2015 or bust lol
Leolaia,
Sadly,no. That was not MY picture, as much as I would like to say it was. I admit that I scalped it from Google Images just to show a fair estimate of what I was seeing. Surprisingly, it was a pretty good view during breaks in the clouds.
Bourne
we weren't able to see it here because of the thick clouds overhead and then it snowed.
