Let's Do This!

Unread post by Apollo XX »

Let's have a "Once in a Blue Moon Photo Contest". Tonight's full moon is that once-every-couple-of-years so-called blue moon because it's the second full moon in the same month. It's going to be clear tonight. Let's all try to get out there and get a shot of the "blue" moon. Landscape, nightscape, telescopic - whatever - just shoot it. And if you have the means then by all means do turn the moon blue in your image. Looking forward to seeing everybody's results!

O/k O/k, I'll go first. Geez I hope I'm not the only one in my own contest. Is that anything like being a legend in your own mind? :roll:

Anyway, found the time to get out for a bit last night and observe the blue moon. It was nice as full moons go, but given that it was 14 hours past true full there was a little clipping of the eastern limb. Sorta like we got gypped or something. All the hype and we didn't even get the whole shebang. :shock: Oh well, here's the best of the rest;
