Last night was a full moon so I decided to take the opportunity of a clear night to get some shots of it and it experiment with various settings on my camera.
After a few trial and error shots where I got some let me say interesting 'formations' of the moon I struck on pretty much the right one.
The moon looked pretty good in all her glory.
What I realised though when I was looking at the last photo in the series was a red dot near the moon. I went back to some earlier shots and sure enough it was on them as well, just further away.
So although this is a pretty poor picture of the moon, you can see the red dot on the top left hand corner of the shot between the moon and the shot, pretty much in a straight diagonal line.
Now it is closer, slightly lower down
Closer still! This being the last photo I took, the red dot is almost half way down the left hand side of the photo and moon.
I wonder what it was? Fascinating - I would never have known if I hadn't taken these photos.
Amazing shots of the full moon!
ReplyDeleteThese shots are amazing ... what camera setting did you use?
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the dot was ... very curious.

The last two photos I used Shutter Priority settings: ISO 3200. Arp F6.3 Exp 1/4000 FL 250.0mm
DeleteIs is Mars, the red planet?
ReplyDeleteI am thinking it is probably a satellite due to the fact it moved... but don't really know.
DeleteOMG!! Aliens!! ;-D
DeleteYou are so talented in getting a shot of the moon. I've had to get a new camera but as a point and shoot photographer I'm not sure how much difference it will make.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Just experiment...that is what I do. It does help if you have a tripod though as you need the camera to be steady. Have go, have fun! ;-)
