I feel at loss with the weather not allowing me to go out and take photos, so I thought I'd dig up some oldies of my moon with foreground objects!
Do you have any to show off?
Here are some of the odd places I stumbled upon the Moon now and then. Some are stranger than others... Mischievous Luna! 🙂
The Moon behind Nice's observatory in France
The Moon behind Nice's observatory in France
The Moon hiding behind a tree, in Nice France
Clmbing down from the Moon, in Greenwich Park
General Wolfe gazing at the Moon, Greenwich, London
Moon and Venus hanging from a tree
And Somehow I also stumbled upon the Moon needing some maintenance...

Have you entered the astrophotographer of the year? If not you should next year.

I had a really nice shot of the moon lined up last night only to have my camera battery go, denied.

Hi Brian! Thanks - I did submit some of them last year, not sure I won anything - are the results out yet??
Shame about your battery! I didn't have a tripod as I was with friends most of the day but I did manage to catch the Moon and Saturn, without a tripod, was a little tricky.
I'll post later! 🙂
