I thought that was the build at lands end originally, but now not so sure.
I agree that the light trails add a splash of colour and add interest to the shot.
Could it be straightened up just a tad ?
Interesting choice Stan I like the reflection in the rather large puddle and yes it doesn't quite look straight
Why 1/1000th at ISO 800 Stan? Moon shots are generally exposed as daytime shots.
I can only think to prevent shake at 850mm?
The moon is a bit of a pain on a tripod, it's amazing quite how quickly it travels through the frame (from experience of the blood moon some time back).Cheers, Tim. You got that spot on. The lens used was a Nikon 200-500mm + a 1.7x teleconverter at the maximum reach.

Hi Stan,
Very nice candid shot for old. The mono treatment works nicely too.
Flower is tack sharp and the water droplet add to it. Very nice.
Dull - the colour image for me. I like both the standard and wide but I think the wide shot just pips it for me.
Snappers choice in well taken with good colour and exposure.
Near - Thats a very good shot. It moves pretty darn quick at that focal length so well done for getting it as well as you have. I 'cheat' and use a driven mount - it makes quite a difference.
I have used a couple of different pieces of software along with single shots. For planets including the Moon, it is typical to use a small chip camera in a video mode. Taking 2000 frames or so and stacking the best 50% using Registax or AutoStakkert. The small chip gives good apparent magnification. A high frame rate makes use of clear moments in the atmosphere. I have also used a standard camera attached to my telescope with essentially makes a 1200mm f4.8 lens.Thanks, Lee for the catch-up comments, very much appreciated.
Do you use any stacking software to get a sharp moon shot or just a single image?
That`s a cool shot for near Stan, some nice detail in the moon.
Great shot and even better song too, cracking colours Stan.
Maybe round your way it is, but we seem to have lost most of the leaves round here.
Where are the Martians?
Terrible song and album but fitting for the theme, would have liked more Martians too.
Nice shot but the glasshouses draw my eye a bit too much.
Good for the theme - good song - fabulous album (if we're talking War of the Worlds) - esp the Phil Lynott bits
Thanks, Dave. Comment appreciated. Didn't know Phil was involved too, which tune/song is that?
