For example, this is my lunar eclipse artwork.

Some lunar stuff from this morning.
The usual maxed out moon.


Jupiter courting the Moon.

Now this one for fun. The cloud looks like it's lighted up by the moon.

I have reposted this pic. The earlier one was not correctly rotated.

Going to try some sun shots later today. Saw some huge prominences yesterday evening, but by the time I had set up the camera, the sun went behind clouds......usual story lah.

March05, how much did you pay for the solar filter?

You moon has so much detail. I'm amazed! How did you do it?

More Moon shots here, http://www.astronomynotes.net/2006/08/06/p...-6-august-2006/

Yesterdays sun shots:

1. Taken with a ND (Neutral Density) Filter. What most ppl call a `normal' Solar Filter. Costs ~ RM500. Place in front of my refractor.


2. Taken with through a Coronado PST ( a Solar Telescope with a built in Hydrogen Alpha Filter) Costs ~ RM4,000. Just pinjam only.

As you can see, I'm hopeless at shooting through the PST with my Casio. I think the Casio CCD is not capable of resolving the narrow Ha bandwidth. There's limited detail captured although the original view in the PST is amazing.

Hey man... looks like you have many lobang for borrowing these equipments, where do you get them from? Anyway, nice shots!

If you join enough astro clubs and have some (hopefully money no object type) friends who also have the same interests, then you sure got lobang lah. But you must also be prepared to return the favour in other ways.....like help them to carry their heavy astro equipment 3-4 kilometers uphill to their secret observing site.

No pain, no gain.

What's the club that you joined? I would like to do observing together.

Copying this from my other posting :-

www.starfinder.org.my has a Lunar eclipse obs tonight (tuesday) at Taman Wahyu (Selangor). Pls log into their website and call the contact person - Pang/Mo/Tommy for details on exact site.

Happy obs

Im getting my cam ready by 7pm today. I starts at 7:25pm I think. With the maximum eclipse for out region being at 7:45. So whos watching tonight?

The weather forecast says thunderstorms and clouds this evening in the Klang Valley.........

I think I will have to prepare my camera for this

Here in Kluang gone case. Cloudy with drizzle since 5pm. No chance at all...

lunar eclipse: 28 August 2007, Melbourne (edited - thanks to march05)
taken with Canon S2is

around 8.30pm



In total shadow - but due to the scattered atmosphere of the earth, the longer wavelength dominates as light travel to earth - and red has the longest wavelength, therefore the blood red in color instead of total darkness...



It was cloudy - and the moon was blocked by clouds around 8.35pm, during the greatest eclipse =( - but luckily some wind came shortly...

when the solar radiation starts to come in...

cleverlynn, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!

I like this one best....you got the turquoise moon very nicely! Spot on exposure!

A bit puzzled about your date, though. Taken on 29th August?


hanissyazwan: sorry to disappoint you, but the eclipse was already long over by 3.21 a.m. 29th August 2007 in Malaysia.

hehe thanks march05...
OPS aha i made a mistake on the date =p thanks for pointing it out man!

You must have had a long booze lunar eclipse party ..........anyways, your exif showed 28-08-2007, so I knew it was a typo. But my other obnoxious twin just had to point it out.

Do you have any recent Perseid shots by any chance?

Have left the Starfinders when i moved to PD. But they are still active and sends me SMS of their activities which unfortunately i cant join them.

If you are looking for astro kaki, you should join them.

Cloudy day and clear nights for everyone.

Are you still active and doing astrophotography?. It would be so good to have some occasional shots of PD night skies here.

Looking for astro kakies, yes.....but no time to join them lah.
