Silvery Moon by Craig Hender
My contribution to the rather awesome looking moon tonight. Lunar eclipse Dec 2010.
I shot this through our telescope with the Nikon D700 and 100mm macro at 1/60 sec and f/5.6, ISO 200. It was a bit tricky getting them both lined up but the result was not too bad i think.

Looks great Craig do you have a special fitting for the Telescope. I have a powerful telescope but have never tried this
No special fitting, you just need to remove the eye piece from the telescope and then just play with camera distance.

Wow. We were completely overcast, day after day of California rain, rain stopped, I’d given up, neighbor reports a brief 3 am-ish clearing and siting between sweeping cloud cover. This is a treat and thanks.
I saw that baby the other night. Excellent shot.
top shot! xoxox
