Sunset tonight....

Attachment 4594
I just took the photo when I came from yoga by bike. The 7.5 miles are fun if you can take your time and enjoy the nice weather

holy cow. That is amazing. I was looking at the same moon last night, but certainly would not have been able to capture it on my iPhone this way.

Not to get all metaphysical, but there's something about all of us sharing the same moon every night that binds us together. It's almost if we are sharing one big backyard, looking up at the same sky.

I'd say give a copy to the neighbor, but that would be a been there, done that, had the space suit thing.:laff:

I received via UPS today a long-awaited new camera lens purpose-designed for deep-sky astrophotography.

This guarantees at least two weeks of overcast weather, typically.

So I decided to test it for shipping damage at sunset today, shooting at some islands far far away on the horizon:

Ya :-). I have a photo he gave me that he took of the Earth-rise over the moon, during his Apollo 8 mission. It will take a while to meet that standard.

Lovely shot; no apparent shipping damage.

Beautiful, bae! Seems to have arrived in good shape!

I like that idea. Beautiful image of the Moon, bae.

These photos are all wonderful, people!
