"And passengers on the starboard side of the cabin may now avail of a view of the crater Copernicus"

"Pleaase note there is a €50 charge for this service"

Very long shot to catch D-ABVN as DLH491 around 05:45 this morning, just before the rising Sun washed-out the Day Moon.

Brilliant Smudge-that is an extra special shot.

Great shot, your patience certainly paid off.

Ta!

A Delta 747 had just clipped the bottom of the Moon a few minutes earlier so it was a bit of a mad rush for the tripod and kit to catch DLH...

Very nice

Excellent shot - great detail, Don. Your new lens is doing a great job.

It would be instructive if photographers would leave EXIF info in photos when publishing.

A couple of upcoming full Moon apparitions of interest:

16 October 2016: Super-Moon, perigee of 357,859 km at 23:37 UTC 19 hours after full-phase.

14 November 2016: Mega-Moon, perigee of 356,511 km at 11:24 UTC 2 hours before full-phase and closest approach of the 21st century. But daylight here

Partial penumbral eclipse of the Moon starts in one minute from now!

Brrr! It`s cold out there folks-too much cloud at the moment at BFS,maybe have a look later.

Beautifully clear from Ards but nothing much happening yet.

Due to finish by 02:54 so I might go for a kip for an hour now.

Quick montage straight from the camera, too tired right now to do any processing!

Nice shots-I went out and had a look around 2315ish and the shadow was starting but still a bit vague-it wasn`t that spectacular,or perhaps my expectations were too high

Nice 'triangle' of Venus, Mars and very-thin crescent Moon out to the west now

Aww it's just a baby Moon, two days after New!

Very useful chart that-thanks for posting it up-I knew some of them but that chart makes it much easier to find things.

Two Earth satellites, Moon and ISS, as seen in the same bit of sky at 20:04 this evening. Nearly a hit, but not 'nearly' enough.

ISS in the top left corner.

Turned out to be good practice for Newcastle, eh?
