Moon photos

An iPhone pic of a moon pic [M6 attached to a NexStar 5SE]:

...of significance (perhaps only to me): from start to finish (including the purchase of the necessary adapter), the entire rig pictured above was entirely set up by my youngest daughter...all by herself as I'm 350 miles away!

I was going through my old photos and found these taken in 2017 using a 5Diii and old FD 800mm lens. The moon is in there somewhere.


Amazing shot.

Really nice. Wonderful catch of the diamond ring moment.
And I never saw the solar prominence so well.
I hope your equipment didn't suffer from the eclipse.
How did you protect the gear?

Well, you've definitely taken pictures of the dark side of the moon.

(Not to be confused with the far side of the moon...which would be quite some feat, and at that moment, it certainly wasn't dark!)

It's a Super Blue Moon tonight, next one will be in a decade. R7 + RF 100-500mm. It's cloudy here this evening, unfortunately, with some haze in front of it.
