january moon

I like this one Sandra,the shadow gives it depth :)

thanks Aster...i took it through the binoculars...bit hit and miss. took about twenty but pleased with these two...

Isnt is gorgeous tonight Sandra....its huge here too.

Good idea Sandra :)

Well done Sandra..this is great.Just been out to check but dense cloud here and can only see shadowy moon.Brrr freezing out there !

clouded over here now....

We must be mad..Sandra,Dd,Aster,Milky...hot choc all round ! Lol

Just thinking same BB,not usually up so late.Had a peek outside,still clear and bright.Guess it will be verrry cold tonight !

Best Idea I have heard tonight Bonkers.......Hot choc all round.......

Well...you ladies have made my night ! All outside ...mooning...Lol

I like your pic Sandra- but I much prefer moonshots when it's in phase....then you can focus on the craters to retain some detail...

Brilliant Sandra

Did you see the red coloured star at the left of it.

that was mars....

clever girl thinking to do it that way, i didnt see mars carol, thats great, there were some very large bright twinkling stars this morning early, very pretty indeed

Snap Sandra, never thought of using binoculars, stood outside in the cold, never taken the moon before, so it was an experiment for me as well !!!

i have taken them but not got as good as this one with binoculars, i will be buying them next lol

we were out there freezing last night...i took loads of pics but only two came out good.

yes its quite hard to capture without the right equipment, you did well

;-))

It looks amazing Sandra...it was a special night with Mars so close..............

thanks Janey i tried taking photos of mars but the didnt come out well...i had the binoculars set up outside and i was just hovering the camera around the eye piece.....have to practice a bit more...lol
