It was pretty spectacular.

It was crisp and very cold out and we had a great view out the sunroom window looking straight across the MatSu Valley at the moon above Pioneer Peak. I mounted the camera on the tripod and kept stepping outside to snap time exposure pictures, then back inside to warm up. Taken with the Nikon D5000. F-stop 5.6. ISO 2000. 4 sec exposure. 300mm Nikor lens. Only photoshopping is some cropping.
Pretty. And awesome. Pretty awesome, Jim! thanks for sharing it with us.

Very nice Jim. I hope to get mine up later today, after work.
ReplyDeleteI was going to call you so you could stand outside at 5* and not me. My shoe froze to the deck and my hand to the tripod. Thanks for the shot.
ReplyDeleteI live in West Michigan. We had a major astronomical event. It was overcast. As usual.
